BTers, meet my bike...bike, meet my BT friends.  We think her name is Sugar, but we are not positive yet.

Why is it that I can't figure out for the life of me if that is the inside or the outside of your house?  It's a tile floor with a border so it looks like the inside, but why would you put a welcome mat on the inside???  Things that make you go "hmmmmm".

Oh, nice bike too

OK, I am sure this is just adrenaline or a mental thing, but I swear that this bike is noticeably faster than my old one.  I only got to ride her for about 15 minutes, but it was so comfortable, and I was over 20 mph almost the whole time, with what seemed like minimal effort...I have to really push my other bike to stay above 17-18.  We'll see how I do on a longer ride, but at least for the first 15 minutes, it felt awesome!

Lovely!  Funny how bikes take on a whole new space in your life, huh?  And after your naming thread, I have been thinking for days about the appropriate name for mine!

Speaking of the naming thread, I have not ordered her name decals yet because I am still waffling.  But my dad had a hilarious suggestion.  Since I was trying to go with the Diabetes theme, and I had come up with Sugar, my dad said "Why not name her Sugar Free; it fits the Diabetes theme, and she was free since you won her; so the free has a double meaning".  Could actually be a neat name.

I assume she's coming to San Antonio this weekend with you? Maybe I'll get to see her in person.

I took that theme a bit further... but I suppose "cycle mate" (cyclamate) is too much of a stretch? I was trying to come up with something like saccharin but the best I could do was "sack the run". Too lame. Stick with "Sugar Free".

Nice bike, by the way, whatever you call it.

Sugar free is a great play on words given the situation.

Did you get a fit done? It seems those bars are pointing up in the air quite a bit when they should really be level.

My LBS doesn't know how to do a fit other than having you stand over the top tube...will have to go to Austin or San Antonio to get a proper fit...any suggestions?
