Dakar has Landed :)
To disable ads, please log-in.
Here is my lovely new Dakar, less than a week after I ordered her! I really like how easily the SRAM triggers shift. I am switching out the stock 11-32 cassette to an 11-36 cassette, and am considering ordering another SI Ldy Gel Flow saddle tomorrow & ditch the stock saddle.
Riding her today was like riding on a cloud, and I rode her over some quite rough pavement

Chainlove or bonktown has been having an SRAM 12-36 10 speed cassette for 50% off lately - $40 or $50.
Both bikes look great - I'm going to have trouble keeping your Ms. Plum separate from Zen's Miss Plum.
You are turning into a crazy bike lady

You are turning into a crazy bike lady Her actual name is Ms. Plum Blossom Rambler - so I will call the Gunnar Plum Blossom - that will keep her separate from Zen's bike
Pity I've already paid for the SRAM 12-36 10-speed cassette - but it wasn't much more than that and they aren't charging me labor. I also took the LBS guys some beer today, they are really liking me right now
Now I must avoid that store until my scheduled fitting on May 13...must-stop-spending-money 
Still have no idea what the name for the Jamis will be, but that will likely come once I can start taking her off-road.Last edited by Catrin; 04-22-2011 at 10:55 AM.
