I went to my favorite LBS today to shop for my secret sister, and I came out with a little something for myself, too...








When I got home, Hubby and I took a little spin around town. This is a serious upgrade from my Schwinn DBX! It has all Ultegra components, and I had them put on black Crank Bros Candy pedals, and a new bike computer. This is one zippy little bike! The shifting is snappy and it rides SO smooth. I'm taking it in later this week to get shims put on the brakes so I can reach them when I'm in the drops (something I wasn't able to do with my Schwinn). Heck, maybe I'll actually RIDE in the drops now that I'll be able to reach the brakes! All that needs to be changed is the saddle. Hopefully Brooks has some black B67's in stock.

It'll take a few rides before I stop looking for my interrupter brakes. I was reaching for those a few times on tonight's ride. Ooops, they're not there!

Best of all, this bike was on clearance for not too much more than I bought my Schwinn for in 2006!

I can also see some pink accessories further down the road...hehe!
