Hebe:
I didn't get the new(er) bike as I couldn't find a buyer for the 2008, so I've just been riding that one as of late. If I could sell it and the LBS still has the 2009, I might be tempted to buy, outside of me selling this one I'll have to look at DH's shiny new bike while I got a used bike with scratches, etc... but I'm not bitter

Yup, I DO like my bike.. tho it did get cranky last night on the way to the grocery store.. wouldn't change down into my granny gear on a hill. I was stuck in the wrong gear or I seriously botched the gear change. Same thing happened with my other bike so I suspect user error was to blame.

Either way I ran out of gas and had to walk. It (the physical effort) also triggered a migraine, but I should have listened to my body as I felt slightly "off" even before the short ride, so I can't blame the bike!! I'd just installed my new mirror and was itching for the place where rubber meets road.

The effort of trying to muscle up a hill in the wrong gear made me feel like someone was standing on my head and caused instant nausea to where I just folded on the couch when I got back.
