Jo I busted out laughing when I read that and startled the dog!

thanks! Just need to order a few things (primarily shoes) and then I'm ready for her first ride. Followed by Pictures!

ohhh and I forgot to mention that the color is a "gang greeen" - seriously! It is a horrible color and name, so I need to girl it up with some cute handlebar tape. I found a "multicolor" one by CINELLI. Anyone know of any other wild handlebar tape manufacturers????

SK and I were emailing about a Diablo ride; something early in the morning to avoid the heat. When? good question. Before Monterey? Busy Busy girls will have a tough time scheduling..... Need to start a new thread in CA.

I'm a big fan of Deda tape. Cushy, easily cleaned, easily re-wrapped. Doesn't dry out and curl up. Beautiful clear colors. Red might look pretty spiffy with red panniers or bags.

Congrats on finding the perfect (except for the paint job) bike! Bring her tomorrow along with Dulce de Luna and we can go to the paint store and find some cool colors. My kids would love to paint something while we're out riding. I'm sure your Bianchi would look fabulous and you wouldn't need to invest in bar tape.

hope you didn't already give your kids the good news. I'm leaving her at the shop until I get the tape...........
