Congrats on your new ride!! That is one sleek looking bike.Hope the weather clears up soon so you can take her out, I'm sure it's killing you not being able to.
How about naming her "Alabaster"?

My new ride's arrived!!
To disable ads, please log-in.
I just ordered it through my LBS last Thursday and got the call today around 5pm. !!!!
When he brought her out from the back I just about turned to putty. White and silver do look great together! I put my "old" bottle cages on her and some new white Keo pedals. I also changed the 12-27 to an 11-28, but the rest is stock. She's at least 2lbs lighter than ol "Blue"! Suh-weet!
Love at first sight!!!
Please gals...help me name her, could ya? With my schedule and the nasty cold weather that's returned, I probably won't be able to ride her until Friday. (BOOHOO!!!) I wanna ride I wanna ride I wanna ride!Last edited by BabyBlueNTulsa; 03-10-2009 at 08:29 PM.

That is a pretty bike! I have the Giant Avail1 (the green and white one). I wish mine was all white haha but yours was out of my budget!
Hopefully you can take it out for a ride soon!

Oh sexy! And you can change the bar tape to any color you want any time you please, I am jealous! How about Bianca or Blanca or what is spanish for snow because it is a prettish word- Nieve?
I like something paying homage to her fair complexion, maybe because I am pale!

Beauty, eh? I'm for "casper"- I can see you couming out of a fog bank, like a ghost...
Be yourself, to the extreme!
