LOVE the bike Pikato!!! Congratulations! AND, I also think you should get the cow bell! Men don't know anything (at least non-cycling men!) I got some handlebar tape that I liked (to match the bike and some of my jerseys ) and my DH totally made fun of it.... BUT, at Cruisin' the Conejo 3 men and 1 woman rode by and commented on my 'cool bar tape'. So, of course I had to tell DH about that right away! Definately make your bike your own, its much more fun that way!!!

I can't wait to hear about your new adventures with Oscar!

ps. I'm w/Cali, look into some tires w/red! I would get some w/color on mine but I'm so afraid of getting a flat that I've got kevlar tires on mine and I haven't found those in color yet!
