That picture made me chuckle, that's at Nebo Ridge I recognize the office buildings next to it where everyone parks for the Thursday night rides. That is a cute lil frame!

Oh. My.

Yep, you are right Winding Road

Ya know, I just noticed that the TT slopes - but in a different direction than I expected to see. Interesting - but then again I have very specific fit needs. This is based on their Crosshairs frame, though it isn't a cross bike - the fork is their custom road fork.

I still have heart palpitations when I think about the cost of this bike, but I think we are going to have plenty of happy miles with each other

Duh - of COURSE the frame slopes differently than expected - she isn't yet mounted on fork and wheels...silly me! She won't have much of a slope, but more than my LHT!

That color is beautiful!!!! How nice to have a custom bike built just for you.... A true one of a kind

. One day I hope to have the money for a custom bike. Can not wait to see her all together a hear the first ride report.

How exciting, Catrin! I can't wait to see it completely built and I know you can't either. Looks like you will be riding it for the Harmonie Hundred!

I really hope I can make that - but I won't know until the last minute if I will be able to swing the trip. Have you decided which day you are going?

It's like Christmas in April. It will be here just in time for the nice temps of the spring season. Do you have a name for the bike?

Her name is in my signature: "Ms. Rambler" I figured since I have actually seen the frame, and know the parts are in, that I could go ahead and add her to my signature

I can't wait to see her in person, Catrin. As pretty as the frame looks in those pictures, my guess is that they're not doing it justice. I bet it just sparkles in sunlight!

She was still neekid when I last saw her, but she should have at least some of her parts installed when I go Friday to make a payment. There is a small chance that she might be ready by then....if so then I could take a spin around the parking lot... squeeeeeeeeeeee

I can't wait to see more pictures, I bet Ms Rambler will look delectable in the sunshine! I would find it so hard to ride a new bike around the carpark and then give it back! Hopefully you'll have some more photos to put on the wall until she comes home.

Waterford forgot to put Framesaver inside the frame, so my LBS did that yesterday. Today the head wrench started building her, and, depending on what else happened at the shop today, she may have all of her parts on by now! I still can't take her home for two more weeks, but still!

Tomorrow I will go get another picture and, hopefully, take her around the parking lot

**Roadtrip** · 04-01-2011, 04:21 PM

Hum, I'd be torn.. If I couldn't bring her home.. Would/could I go for a simple visit?? Your stronger then I!!

Does this mean we can ride togeher here in a few weeks??
