Thanks everyone! I showed her to the Mister tonight, and he was staggered by how light she was. I have to say that the future is looking short for my Marin, it's so heavy by comparison. The basket is a Basil bottle pannier, it just hooks on to the rear rack.
Thank you! I am trying to find a flat bungee cord in either turquoise, bright blue or bright orange for the rear rack, but have been unsuccessfull so far. I'm going to look for some blue or orange wraparound lights too.Originally Posted by Tri Girl
You were so right.
It's going to take a while to get used to the extra speed. I keep getting to junctions far quicker than I expect, and in too high a gear

Ditto here. I do that very same thing.. then go to take off in too high a gear due to my own sillyness. Originally Posted by Owlie
