Very very cool! Also, as a side note, I love how there are little baby bluebonnets at the bottom of the post the bike is leaning on. Not enough rain here for those this year!

No bluebonnets in Virginia. Those are muscari, otherwise known as grape hyacinth (originally from Armenia).
Nice bike, K!!

Thanks everyone. The bike, being a triple, has tons of gears and shifts like a dream (bar end shifters). The previous owner replaced the chain rings to get a higher range of gears for the rolling hills of Montgomery County, MD. His wife hardly ever used the bike, so it's seen very little road time.

Nice bike
The Fuji is a 12 speed with shifters on the downtube making it a little difficult to use with the arthritis I have developing in my thumbs. Sorry my beautiful robin egg blue Fuji but it's time to move on to a new owner.Specialized Ruby/Selle Italia Flow

Biopace chainrings, eh?!
I had them on a bike in the late 80s (or was it early 90s?) They were ovalized and supposed to help with leverage, but they fell out of favor. Will be interesting to see what you think of them!
It's a very pretty bike!Emily

Congrats!! It is a beautiful bike, and I have no doubt that you will enjoy every minute on it!!
Bye, bye Fuji
And I admit to looking at bikes on CL once a week. I don't know why I torture myself as I don't need another bike (nor do I have room for one), but I look anyway.Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com
