Awesome, Mimi - congratulations! Did you get the purple? Or orange? Either will be gorgeous. You'll have to let us know how you decide to build it up, and of course you'll post many pictures when you get it.
Very exciting!

Orange, Emily; Pearly Orange
When I figured out that to get an Italian frame and fork cost less than to get a local guy to do it, (and he was going to have co-motion make the frame),
I decided that this was a deal I didn't want to pass up.

Yay! Another convert to the orange club. Now you must buy much orange wool. And a nice orange jacket.

Oh, Ladies, i am not a "convert" to orange.
I already have an orange short sleeve jersey, an orange print short sleeve jersey, a longsleeved hoody jersey (orange, but has no pockets so i don't wear it much), a beautiful longsleeved insulated orange jersey, my new orange (goldenrod) raincoat, an orange helmet, and orange socks.
But I have wanted an orange bike for a very long time.
I am wearing orange today!

Ooo, fun. Adding to the stable!
Congrats on the beee-utiful ride!
Looking forward to seeing pix of the finished bike. Okay, alongside your DH's, too (if/when it comes in - what did he get?)!

OK, so even though my original post in this thread sounded a bit hesitant (to say the least
), let me jump up on this bandwagon right now, because it's always SOOOO exciting to be getting a new bike! Jeez, I'm salivating over that pearly orange, Mimi. Keep us posted on the process!
