Is it the Indians or the arrows (new bikes vs. old bikes)?

She's just unwilling to switch bikes with me.

Few people will. I hesitate to let anyone else ride my road bike, heck, I don't even like strangers touching it . Three TE'ers though have ridden my bike. All 3 are riders who I know/trust their bike handling skills .... and are my size. When you're 5' nuthin there are few choices out there. So when a few "height challenged", skilled riders are together and there's an opportunity for each to try a Seven a full custom Mondonico (mine) and a lovingly refurbed/upgraded Bianchi there will be test rides.

What I found out is that all 3 are great bikes, but I like mine best.

New bikes are not necessarily better than old.
More expensive bikes not necessarily better than less etc.

Fit means a lot, technique too. But seriously if your bike fits you well you absolutely can have a much better bike. We'd be glad to coach you through the remodel.

After all we get all the fun of a rebuild ... with your money.
