My new BIKE!!!!

[light_sabe_r]

HOORAY!!!

After months of lusting and saving... Look what I bought today!!!



Yes. Here's P!nk, My Gorgeous new Sarah Ulmer Brand (SUB) ZERO.2!!!!!

I've named her after the singer Pink, and the colour of course. But the real reason is because my real name is Madonna and no matter who I meet they always ask if I can sing like the "SINGER" Madonna!!!! GRRRR! Well P!nk can't sing like Pink but she sure as hell can ride!!!

and that makes sense now doesn't it??

Here she is as soon as I got her home meeting her riding partner, (BF's Bianchi)

And here's the most expensive pair of shoes I've ever bought!!!



Full carbon sole Shimano triathlon shoes!!!

All in all P!nk and the shoes set me back AU$1900.

So yeah my Baby is home at last. I can't wait to start tresting out these clipless pedals. O_O Or not... I'm really not looking forward to that but I can't WAIT to take her out tomorrow

[fatbottomedgurl]

She is bee-yoo-tee-full!!!!! Is she all carbon? I see a lot of carbon parts!

[KSH]

Very pretty shoes and bike!

Congrats! Enjoy riding.

fatbottomedgurl, She's an Alluminium alloy frame, Carbon fork and rear, Carbon masked seatpost. The next model up was all carbon though... and DOUBLE the price

Thanks KSH. I aim to have "got" the clipless thing in two weeks for the charity ride which is my last big training session before my Sprint Triathlon. O_O Then I'll have fun riding her

Ooooh, very nice. She's so pretty! Have fun with your rides on that beauty.

Your bike is beautiful!! I hope you enjoy many happy miles on Pink.

Love that shade of pink. I have two pink Lunas, but they are different shades of bubblegum pink.

I like the matching pink bottle cage. I also like the black accents with the pink.

Congratulations! That's a beautiful bike. You'll be fine going clipless. You'll love the power you gain.

Congrats on your gorgeous bike. I love your white saddle with your bike.

[pooks]

Pink and BF's Bianchi make a darling couple! I wonder what their babies would look like?

I love your bike.

***oops..sorry light...didn't mean to hijack your thread...I'm dense! Congrats on the new bike***

[Geonz]

Completely impressed. It's just *buying,* though, not exactly shopping

[chickwhorips]

very nice! and the two bikes do make a cute couple. awe......

enjoy your rides together!

[light_sabe_r]

Well I've been on my first ride. Just around the Murrarie track of the Balmoral cycling club. Clipping in with my right foot is a chore... But my left is a subconcious clip in... I didn't even realise I'd done it until I started pedalling!!!

So We practiced clipping in and out, changing gears and different positions on the handle bars. ^_^

The really uncanny thing was about halfway though our ride, we passed another woman on a SUBZERO.1!!! (the same bike without the carbon chainstay, cept it's blue)

We had a good laugh at each other. Since she'd only gotten her bike that weekend too!

Even though I don't have a computer on her yet... BF tells me our speed got up to 35km per hour... UPHILL. (albeit it was a little hill. he he he) And 40 on the flats.

It was a struggle to get my hybrid to that speed because it was soo heavy. THIS just felt like we were crusing.

All in all I think I'm going to like this transition to road riding. Just gotta keep up the practice so I can ride well at the triathlon in two weeks... EEEEP!
