Back in the saddle

[velo]

Campy with a custom frame is my dream-bike. Not ready yet to drop the $$$, but I'd love to drool over yours if you post a picture. That's a 'forever' bike. The LeMond sounds sweet too.

I do use SPD-SL's, but when I changed shoes last year, I had a horrible time with the cleats until I found a very good fitter (who spent 3 hours adjusting just them ). So, I'm not the best person to ask. That might actually deserve it's own post.

The frame's not custom (I wish!). We started with the factory 49cm frame and the rest of the build was custom with Campy Chorus drive train, shifters, etc. with Zipp rims. If I can figure out how to post a picture, I'll post one when I get the bike back.

Thanks for the suggestion to post separately about the pedals. I forgot that there are areas here other than "newbie". I've been reading a lot here.

I got my bike back from the LBS today. I can't wait to take it out tomorrow all tuned-up. It has a better saddle than my Lemond and my tushie will welcome the change.

I did get a pic of it and I think I got it attached to this post. I guess we'll see. It appears green in the picture, but the paint job is actually with chameleon paint, and it usually looks purple, especially in natural light. It depends on the angle from which you are looking. I couldn't get the picture to take with it purple (which I think is the prettier color), but maybe my hubby can, as he's the photographer in the family.

Very pretty bike!
