Congrats! Give that guy a huge hug and kiss!Originally Posted by bonnypriest
The LBS called this afternoon...and...SHE'S HERE! I finally made a decision after testing riding the Roubaix & Tarmac this weekend (the WSD didn't feel right). Anyway...I was going to order the 2011 Tarmac SL3 Expert. My hubby & I went in on Monday to order it & they tell me that it'll be on backorder until mid to late January. I was soooo bummed! Little did I know that my amazing husband had already talk to them about it when he brought the test bikes back. They mentioned giving me a good deal on the 2011 Pro Sram. Sooooooo...we ordered her Monday afternoon & she's in my living room tonight! My husband got an AMAZING deal on her. He also got them to throw in a new Jett saddle & a shorter stem. With tax & all, we saved about $1100-1200. I'm so dang excited! It's supposed to be a nice sunny 70 degree day on Saturday with only 5-10mph winds. I feel so lucky, so happy & so blessed all at once. Never in my life could I have imagined having a bike as nice as this. I get fitted tomorrow!
Just wanted to say thanks again to all of you ladies who answered my silly questions during my search for my first NICE road bike. I'll post a few picks after I get her all decked out.

Here she is!
I hope this works. I've never posted a pic before. Ok...if you can see the pic...it's already dark outside so the flash, etc. doesn't look so good. Not much of a photographer for sure. Oh...sorry about the plastic on the handlebars still. I know I'll have to take that off tomorrow, but I'm sure gonna hate when that pretty white turns brown.

Very nice! (And do a search, there are a couple of threads about cleaning white bar tape.
