    Thanks for all the valuable tips that helped me to decide the right bike for me. This thread can be found here: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=46587

    I ended up with a Trek Lexa SLX 2012 - 52cm, color Satin White Shell/Satin Ghost Grey. Can't wait to ride this baby. I still have to name her!!

    Very nice! I love the green bottle cages, and are those matching green accents on the rims?

    Many happy miles!
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Hi Owlie,
    Thanks!!
    Yes, the rims have green accents. I wonder how it would look with green bar tape...

    I love green bar tape on bikes. I have lime green Fizik tape (I think they may call it apple green) on my cyclocross bike and it's fantastic...it's been covered in mud and cleans up so nicely.

    Gorgeous bike...I just love the white and lime!

    I was going to suggest seeing if you can find matching green bar tape, but didn't mention it because I didn't know if you liked the white or not. If you can match it, I think it would look smashing with green!
