Well, I didn't think it would happen but it did. I walked into NYC Velo today (2nd Ave and 4th street) to buy a t-shirt and I spotted this beauty on the rack. Well, actually I spotted her sister, who was a 54cm. I fell in love.
I told the guy there "good thing you don't have this in my size, I'd have to buy it." That's when he brought it out in my size.
My first ride on it was the six blocks from the store to my car (which luckily had my rack on it). The next ride as around the neighborhood.
It's already been modified a bit. I flopped it to the fixed gear side and removed the back brake (having to take the brake lever off with a Dremel cutting tool, so I wouldn't have to take off the grips). I'll pull off the useless reflectors at some point soon.
So my LeMond is going to leave me, I don't need for two fixed gear bikes and this one is more fun. And pretty. And Felt never had shitty things to say about Lance, and it never sued Trek.
Oh, and it seems that Danielle likes this bike too.
That bike is AWESOME.
