    Beautiful bike - and doesn't everyone have a bike in their living room or bedroom (or both?)

    Beautiful bike! And no worries. I got 5 in the living room. And 4 in the bedroom
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

    Wow! What a sweet find! It was your lucky day even though you missed hearing your daughter sing. Too bad about that Only paying $375 just makes the ride that much better!

    I feel like I won the lottery (without the guilt of spending the winnings on a bike)!! Ultegra/Dura Ace, and blue is my favorite color. I keep going in to stare at her, I still can't believe it. Now if it was only warmer than 8°. Oh well. There will be plenty of days to ride.

    Phooey - the picture won't enlarge for me, but from what I can see, it looks gorgeous, and what a great price. Congrats!

    My riding buddy thinks it was a Christmas angel. Our daughters have had vehicle troubles this year, and I had surgery, so with one thing and another, I raided my bike fund until it was down to $400. What are the chances of finding such a great bike for exactly what I was able to spend, in a town where the only used bikes are NEXT and Mongoose, with occasionally some very optimistically priced Specialized and Treks. I think the shop didn't recognize the name, so they didn't know what they had. We went in to find some Wii games for a Christmas Angel Tree. It was leaning against the window in the corner, all dusty, waiting for me. Crazy, huh?

    (2) in my dining room.
    (2) in my kitchen

    - to be exact. LOL. Two are mine (see signature) and two are my partners. We actually had to talk ourselves down from each getting another one. We had to turn to each other and say "Slow down crazy, slow down." 2 very nice bicycles is enough.

    @blackhillsbiker: Congratulations girl! Rock on! That is one cool bike!

    1 in the bf's garage (there's 3 or 4 total in there)
