Congratulations.
I loved Running Mommy's coach's comment: "It's a bike, not a miracle machine."
Well, I got the confirmation e-mail that I will be receiving my "vintage Cervelo"... HA! Vintage? 2004?
Anyways... so I'm very excited.
Now I'm just worried to heck over the fit of the bike.
One lady on my other message board... who is my exact size (height, 5'4" and inseam, 30")... got a 48CM because an "expert" looked her up and down and said she would ride that size. She also fit on a 50 CM Trek 1000... whereas I ride a 52 CM Trek 1000???
Another lady is 5'7" and purchased the 51CM.
So I'm really second guessing myself.
I did some calculations and compared the sizing to my Trek 52CM... and everything on the Cervelo 51CM was a bit smaller than what I ride now. Even the stand over height. I figure if it was smaller... then it should fit... since tri bikes have shorter top tubes, etc.
I would just hate to get this bike, and it be too large for me. I'm probably going to fret over it till I get the bike in my hands and in the LBS to have it fit to me.
Oh well.. thanks for listening!
Once I get my new bike... I will take some pictures! Assuming the bike fits and will be staying with me!
