I can see where powder blue would turn you off...blech! I love the red and silver on my new bike, it just screams out RIDE ME!!!
One thing I did learn for the next time I go bike shopping (which won't be for a while) is too bring my own seat with me to use. Some of these bike seats on the bikes I tried felt like rocks. My butt was not happy!

Famous last words. When there's a bike in your bathtub, I'll believe you. Originally Posted by LoriO

powder blue trek
We bought the blue 7.2fx Trek for our daughter last month and she loves it. She's 11 and a bit more of a girly girl when it comes to colors. I like your red bike, very nice.

LOL, mine is the girly blue, and I love the color scheme. Which is weird 'cause I don't consider myself overly girly.
PS LoriO, congrats on your new bike!

A Confession
My road bike is that powder blue.
Somehow it looks better on a road bike.

Congrats - very nice bike and choice. I thought about the FCR3 - couldn't decide on a flat or drop bar bike. By the time I decided to buy something, the only left over 2007 bikes was the OCR3W - a deal I couldn't pass up. Enjoy

The main thing is that you're happy with your choice - I reckon you'll use it a lot more than your old bike which you didn't like.

She really is a beauty and one of these days I may even get a chance to ride her
. The day after I brought her home, my horse had a terrible reaction to a vaccine and I have spent the past few days taking care of her and trying to get her better.
At least I know my shiny new bike is there waiting for me!
