Congratulations on your new bike! Enjoy!
When DD was born, DH asked if we should exchange gifts (those "push presents" some people do; gross words, I know) and I said I'd rather have a deposit in my bike fund.

The "Hope Diamond Curse" was mostly a marketing tool, the rest an urban legend, though the last private owner did have some bad things happen in her (long) life. (Then again, don't we all?)
mhami, I'm so glad you posted this thread!! I really have been wondering what to do with that piece of jewelry I will never wear again, and my heart is lighter now, knowing that I can get at least something I value out of it!!

Well, this thread has taken a turn, hasn't it? Though that's seems to be the norm.
That is a fantastic idea, Owlice! And that bike's name will be Phoenix

If you ride when it's cold and sunny, you'll have diamonds coming out your nose!

Well, personally, I wouldn't turn down the bike *or* diamonds. I don't go around dripping in jewels, but I lost my engagement ring years ago, and I would like to get a new diamond. Someday... I guess I've bought too many bikes to be able to afford it!
