You pulled another to the "dark side" of wonderfulness! Good job, Crankin!
Congrats to your friend!!! Sounds like she has just what she wants and will be very happy!!


I don't know why shop guys do that. When I was buying parts for my steel Bianchi build, I was telling the LBS guys I wanted a triple (it was built as a touring bike) and they gave me all kinds of crap for wanting a triple. I think it's snotty- and I didn't appreciate being talked down to like I didn't know what I wanted. Grrrr... I love my LBS, but I don't like guys that talk to me like I don't know what I want or what I'm talking about. I ended up buying a triple on eBay for half price-which I didn't feel too bad about after the crap I got.
