WElcome to the boards ladies!

GM: custom Bill Bryant? Not familiar with that one - where are they built? I'm currently riding vintage bikes but when I decide to bite the bullet and get a new one - I"m seriously thinking custom is the way to go. Especially with Luna Cycles just 55 miles from me.

Polly: I was grinning ear to ear when I saw your name - my mom wanted to name me Polly So Bad she and my dad had a "discussion" over it. My dad won. Is Cannondale your final choice or did you go bike shipping and that was The One?

Agge: nice kit - for an aggie!! Just Kidding ma'am, I'm just north of ya in New Mexico and we Love to tease the Texans! Congrats on your first century and your MS ride!!

Hope to hear more from y'all!!

What a wonderful and friendly place this is! I'm so glad I found it.

crazycanuck: Yep, cycling is the best! So. Cal has lots of hills, but I like to avoid them LOL!! Well, at least you eventually get to the top, but headwinds, that's a different story...

Nina R. Messina: Just sent you a PM; I hope we can meet up sometime!

CorsairMac: I love my Bill Bryant bike. Bill is my bro-in-law and has built custom frames for friends and family mostly. I'm very short-waisted and have a very long inseam, so stock frames never fit and it was always a struggle trying to adjust stem and saddle height to get optimum riding position. At first glance it looks like a Terry cuz it has a 24" front wheel. For me, custom was the way to go. I had to moonlight to pay for it, but well worth the investment! I love vintage bikes too; very cool.

This is me and my Bryant on a recent ride.


Happy Riding!!

Thanks so much! Nope, he's happily married, to one of my sisters. They are both avid cyclists, and have both done PBP a couple of times at least! I can't imagine... http://www.rusa.org/pbp.html
