You are quite a matchmaker!!
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
She LOVES her bike and can't wait to start riding it. I am so happy. The LBS was very helpful to her, and will be helping her outfit the bike for the tour as well- they told her to price the panniers on line and they will meet the online price.
And that's not all. When she told the guys at the LBS that the BF also needs a bike, they offered to sell him the same bike, brand new, at 20% off list (400 pounds instead of 500). They are checking their stock and will let her know if they have it in his size.
I'm apparently now the official long-distance bike shopping consultant for their tour, as now one of their friends also needs a bike for the trip and wants me to help him locate one. I love it.

azfiddle, that is so awesome! Great discussion here. Sounds like the perfect bike. And really glad she found a good LBS, that's half the battle..
P.S. I just heard from your daughter, she sounds really stoked for this trip!![]()

Thanks Rebecca-
I'm so glad she contacted you- she was just lukewarm to cycling while home in Arizona, and now that we can share this interest, it makes me really happy.
