I hope she's not offended.......it's just not me. Don't think I could blow snot rockets while I was riding it...it just wouldn't be ladylike

No, I mean someone local to me. She's kind of a friend-of-a-friend. Apparently she's quite the athlete, but that bike makes me think I should be having gastric issues or something.

BTW, here's a picture of that bike. It doesn't look as bad as I remember but at the time I thought it was horrid.

I love it! I would totally play up the black on bars and bottle cages to keep from pink over load!

I have no complaints about mine. It's a sweet ride!

Any comments on the spec of this bike? It's very pretty in person

No details for weight which I'm a bit frustrated about. It felt a bit on the heavy side but I'll try lifting it again tomorrow when I'm out on it.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

Test rode it today and was disappointed. It wasn't as fast as I'd hoped (it was quite heavy, even the saleswoman agreed when she picked it up!) and not that much of an improvement over my trusty hybrid.

However, I loved the aggressive riding position. Loved the Tiagra shifters. The two levers system really felt natural to me as opposed to the Sora system. The fit and ride of the bike was great, it just isn't what I'm looking for. Need something a little bit quicker.

The search continues

Have you tried this bike yet? I have 2 Eddys, but I haven't had the pleasure of riding the one you linked to. Just curious how it feels (I bet nice

).

No I haven't. I was going to get that one ordered in but the sales assistant put me off by saying I would basically be paying for the name. What model is yours and what do you think of it?
