    Congratulations on your new Trek. Yep that saddle sure does suck.

    Happy Treking.

    Cinnamon, just to second what Cassandra said--my neighbor is 6 feet tall, and she still finds a woman-specific bike more comfortable than a "manbike."

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    I'd pinch ya, but don't think I can reach. HA! HA! my attempt at humor. LOL

    Okay, I am jealous, what a beauty. Is it that color? I love that color. DH was looking at a trek catoloug for me a new bike. It will be sometime down the road but that color was the one I was drooling over, only mine would be a mountain bike or a hybrid. I live on a very out of shape gravel, dirt, cleachy, whatever you want to call it road, and I don't think a road bike would fair to well on it.

    Anyway, off the subject, sorry. Congrats and have a great time on the new bike.
