Well it's me, Kelly, the one who decided to forgo the tropical trip to get a new bike. I bought a Specialized Allez Dolce! I'm only 5' tall but decided to get a bike with 700c wheels. She's a beauty! Not my color of choice (white and silver) but it was a close-out 2003 model. I did want to stick with a WSB and test drove the Trek 220 first. But after testing the Specialized I decided on the bigger wheels. I think we got a pretty good deal - full Ultigra (sp?), nice wheels etc.

Now it was actually warm enough to ride in Boise today so I took her out for the first time. Pretty sweet. I'm not in great biking shape but it was all good. The smaller features of this bike just fit me like a glove. I suffered on the hills but I don't think it was due to the bigger wheels ! Now, I need a new bike bag - I told my husband that I could not put my "old" bag on my "new" bike! Fortunately, he's a cyclist too - soooo, I'll be getting a new bag! Yippee - just makes me smile to look at it! Kelly
