I'm super excited. My sweet husband surprised me with a new Campy triple crank for my Bianchi in honor of our third year anniversary yesterday. I've long disliked my compact, which I switched to because my old Campy triple's Q-factor caused chronic ITB irritation. Campy recently came out with triples with a lower Q-factor, so I hope this one works for me. The compact was okay, but I was constantly trying to find just the "right" gear or having to shift around a lot to avoid cross chaining. I know triples are out of fashion in general, but I really like them. The crank is surprisingly light, too.

He did good! Of course I should note that the gift, as great as it is, was just icing on the cake. He really is a wonderful partner and the gifts were incidental to our celebration. One of the things I love most is that we truly enjoy spending time together and enjoy all the things we do, both little and big. He makes doing something as mundane as grocery shopping or folding laundry fun, and he's a huge comfort to me during less than fun times. I spent many, many years alone and while I wasn't lonely all of those years, I feel really lucky to have found him.

I still smile and giggle when I think of the "ride report" he posted on RBR with the old rusty bike frame. You found yourself one of the good ones Indy.

That thread was classic! I'm glad you enjoyed it, too!

Hope you're feeling a little better, Crankin, and that your ski trip is a good one. Can't believe how bad your bug ended up being! Glad you took care of yourself and went to the doc as needed!

Awww. Congratulations! And that's a great gift!
