    First road bike. Purchased on Cyclescheme (UK). Arrived at my office this morning in a box. A cycling workmate helped me finish the build. Just needs air in the tyres. Oh yes, and lights attached.

    Looking forward to a lovely 10-mile ride home this evening.

    Feeling awestruck, excited, nervous, overwhelmed, and very very happy...

    Oh, I love it, but then again it looks just like MY surly. I told my lbs that this bike was like a little black dress, even before I knew about the Sweetpea little black dress bike.

    Enjoy!

    Wonderful! Enjoy!

    P.S. Almost all of my bikes have lived for a time in my living room so that I could stare at them. It's always been love at first sight.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Yes! My mixte lived upstairs in my living room for the first, oh, 4 weeks. These pictures of the Surly were taken outside my office door at work. But I think she'll spend a few weeks in my living room too.
