    Figured it out...the images were too big. Note that the dog insisted in being in the photos. He has a jealous relationship with my hybrid, hopefully he and the road bike will get along better.

    Doesn't quite capture the color, though....

    I think I need to get to know her better before I name her. And the hybrid doesn't have a name, so I think it might get jealous if I name the road bike. I'll have to think about it.

    Man, that is one gorgeous bike! And, the expression on your dog's face is hilarious! That is one nonplussed, human-looking expression.

    Btw, in those photos, the dog (Linus) is thinking "is this one of those things that's going to make the one who has thumbs leave the house more often? Is it edible?" Or something like that.

    I took a 30 minute spin on the bike. The seat seems tilted up, and it was painful, and I can't figure out how to tilt it down. My back started to hurt, I think because of the seat tilt. I am going to be good and heed my chiropracter and ride the new bike minimally before my trip to italy (which is two weeks from yesterday!) because my knee/back/foot health is so precarious at the moment, she doesn't want me to change anything on my bike (of course, I didn't change anything on my bike, I just got a new bike ). New bike will still be here when I'm not feeling so delicate. God, I'm really maturing nicely.

    However, even riding for 30 minutes did give me a sense of the speed that will someday soon be mine! And I shall rule the world!!! OK, a little overboard.

    I think Linus has many thoughts. And he looks like the sort of dog that would be dangerous with opposable thumbs

    I know about maturing and I think it's over-rated. Anyway, that beautiful bike will be waiting for you! Are you going to bring a picture of her with you?

    I'm sure it'll go smoothly once you start riding. It just takes tweaking little things and it'll happen before you know it.
