Congratulations! Willy Bike Works is a great shop--I wasn't so into cycling when I lived in Madison as I am now so I didn't patronize it myself, but I always heard good things. My dear friend bought a beautiful Bianchi from them a few years ago.
And I agree--dark pink would be a fabulous color for the bar tape.

Willy street bikes had the rug pulled beneath them when the owner of Budget Bicycle took their lease. They opened a new shop called Machinery Row in the location that Willy bikes was in! Now poor Willy street bikes is no longer *on* willy street! They are on W. Washington and Regent. Still on a bike path though - so a great place to test ride bikes

I rode a short 10mi yesterday on some country roads and it was a bumpy ride! I got a little scared. Perhaps I shouldn't have bought such a $$ bike so soon? My new "roadie" mirror (I have one on my trek 1000) kept moving around when I hit bumps.
I think the reason it felt so much bumpier is my tires and tire pressure. I also need a plusher seat. I do hope I'll love long rides. It definitely was faster (thanks to those tires at 100psi). I think I was riding my trek 1000 on 80-90psi.
I kinda wigged out last night. I got scared that maybe I should have test-rode carbon again.
When I test rode this, it was on a paved bike path.
I'm still sick and super busy with kids and work - no opportunity to REALLY ride yet.Alison - mama of 2 (8yo and 6yo)
