Congratulations, and that was a great deal you found! The 2010 FX 7.6 was the very first bike I ever had, and would still have it if it hadn't been too large for me. I am so happy for you and am sure you will have many miles and smiles with that bike

Very nice, both bike and rider
I didn't know the 2010 model came in that color, it is quite attractive! Have fun with it - and it looks like you already are!

Thank you! Sometimes I feel sorry for Lillibeth, she is such a classy broad but she's being tethered to odd contraptions that tow ankle biters. It really is beneath her, as she was meant to go fast and to look lovely while doing it, but she is SUCH a good sport about it all.

Thank you! I think so. Seller said $1100, so LBS may have given her a deal. It is worth more with the upgrades. So delighted! Originally Posted by Muirenn
