Hi jobob! Nope haven't abandoned y'all completely, just been super busy with work, life, etc. Still riding too I haven't been going out and about as much for fun rides though. :/ The Bianchi is just too heavy now that it has even more equipment on it. I've installed a new rack that sits on the front called a C.E.T.M.A. rack (found at http://cetmaracks.com/). It's 12" x 17" and 5 pounds or so, but it lets me take the weight off of my back.

Since the bike is so heavy and I don't enjoy pushing that much weight to go on a fun ride, hubby and I went looking at bicycles yesterday (woot!). Right now the Lightspeed Firenze is the leader. It's more than we really wanted to spend, but oh my is it fun to ride. The titanium just eats up the bumps but it's still very responsive.

Hope everyone is doing well I'm going to try to catch up on some of the posts on the boards since I'm at home at the moment. Stupid cold. O.O
