I'm getting a new bike!!

[Running Mommy]

WHOO HOO!!!
I just made an appt. w/ Rudy at Trisports down in Tucson for a bike fit. He said it's going to take an hour to an hour and a half. I'm SOO stoked! I'm doing the "I'm gettin' a new bike" happy dance!
I'll be sure and post a picture of her tomorrow when I bring her home! Oh man, now I need to figure out what to name her! OY! Of course when I see her I'm sure a name will pop into my head. ha ha ha

Just got back from Tri heaven- aka trisports.
It was confirmed that I'm a squat little thing. The guy thought I could get away w/ a small... Oh no! I'm an extra small! After much discussion on frame material I decided to take the leap and go CARBON!
I'm going w/ the Quintana Roo Seduza. They needed to build her up, so I have to go back down for a final fitting and pick her up Thursday.
I'll post a picture when I bring he home, but here are the specs for now...

I also decided that I LOVE the Fizik Arione saddle. I sat on one on the fit trainer and I think I could have been on it all day! I'm Def. going to put one on my new baby.
Now I need to come up for a name for her.. Seduza is such a sexy name I think she needs something sexy. ha ha

I just went on the QR website and it says "Seduza, sex on wheels"... Now I feel dirty! ha ha ha

Oh she's so pretty!!! I think she needs a Spanish name, especially since she's a QR. So are you getting the XS with 650 wheels?

I got BF the Arione for Christmas. You can find them a bit cheaper on eBay, if you watch for a few days. I found one for $100, Buy It Now price.

You are so lucky!!!

Ohh Good idea nanci!! A spanish name. The first thing that came to mind was Lolita- na.. Then Lola.. But I'd be riding her singing "her name was Lola, she was a show girl"...
Yeah she's the xs w/ the 650's. The guy was hoping I could go w/ the small because then I would be able to stay w/ 700's. I guess the 650 tires are hard to find. What can I say, I'm a short little thing!
But yeah I'm super stoked to get her. I rode today and it just wasn't the same. I actually half expected to get a flat. You know like that karma that happens when your about to trade your car in. Suddenly it breaks!
But all that happened was one of my bottle launchers fell off the back. I have a profile design double seat post holder. Well the bolt sheered off on one side. NICE! I guess I'll be going w/ plan B for the new bike.

My bike has 650's- I don't think it's that much of a problem. I love how petite she looks next to BF's 59" monster.

Lola, that's a good name.

wow. I am stupefied with admiration and envy. You know you're an iron-person when you get a bike like that and know how to use it. I am so excited for you.

I also like the name Corazon, which means "heart". Nanci, that website for names is cool!

Looking forward to pix--

No I get her Thursday.. I want her NOW though! I'm dying over here! Oh that reminds me I need to call and tell them to put a fizik arione on her. Stock saddles... why do they even bother?! They should do like they do for pedals on most higher end road bikes- not even bother cause it's just gonna get swapped out anyway!
As soon as I get her home I'll have my neighbor take a picture of us and I'll get it up on my photo site.
Then I'll have my "name my baby" contest. I;ve come up w/ some great Spanish names. She's a Latina thats for sure..
