She's got the Ultegra component set. Actually, I'm realizing that in my twitterpated excitement yesterday I misspoke - it's not the Mitis Dama but actually the even fancier Dama Race that I ended up purchasing, in Linea Blue color. Being a clearance item, I got such a good price on it that for some reason I just convinced myself that it really must have been the more affordable Mitis. So waking up and realizing that she's even lovelier than I first thought was a nice surprise this morning.
I'm also thinking of a Spanish (or better yet, Basque) name for her. Beatriz comes to mind automatically because of Orbea, but I've never really been too fond of that name. Though I guess I could call her Aunt Bea.
Now my goal is to become a better cyclist so that I will actually be worthy of riding Her.

What a lovely bike Danyla. I am sure you are very worthy of riding her. By reading the bikes that you have ridden up to now, with a bike that fits you well, I am sure your rides will be awesome.
Wishing you much luck and many happy riding miles.

p.s. I just googled "Basque woman names" and this seems to be the most comprehensive site. Have a look......

Uh Oh! I hope you've warned the people in your life that you will be less available now and that you're very sorry, but new relationships take time to build and require a lot of one on one time.
It's beautiful! Have a blast!
