When I got home, put on my cycling shoes, took the bike off of the carrier, clipped in, pushed off, and immediately fell over. I was so excited to ride the bike that I forgot to take the bungee cord off the front wheel!Bob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06969697808418980258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212328702087622896.post-60276114400410653802007-12-05T18:37:00.000-06:002007-12-05T18:37:00.000-06:00At least you got the first "ding" out of the way e...At least you got the first "ding" out of the way early, Adrian. lol<BR/><BR/>I've only had it out once. That's the bad thing about buying a road bike this time of year -- waiting for warmer weather!<BR/><BR/>My Cross Check loves this weather, though ;)kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04242675639339072985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212328702087622896.post-82761600453014551032007-12-05T08:46:00.000-06:002007-12-05T08:46:00.000-06:00Congratulations Kevin!!!

First day I rode my brand new trek to work i wrecked...misty and foggy...woman on cell phone decided she would slam on it and cut me off at the intersection...hit the brakes and the bike came under me - hit the pavement and slid a good 15 feet. Ah memories!Adrian Oliverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721591129730175021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212328702087622896.post-9635495079254113502007-12-04T17:56:00.000-06:002007-12-04T17:56:00.000-06:00Sure - hold onto it until you have a chance to tak...Sure - hold onto it until you have a chance to take a couple of good rides on it. Not a lot of difference between that saddle and the Aliante Gamma I have on the bike now - the main difference is that the saddle I have uses the wing flex technology and has a kevlar shell. The one I loaned you was original equipment on the bike (it's called the Aliante Sport) and is made of plastic. The Aliante Sport is no longer in production - if you like the one I loaned you you'll probably want to get the Gamma.Bob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06969697808418980258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212328702087622896.post-44673814717136512552007-12-04T14:24:00.000-06:002007-12-04T14:24:00.000-06:00You mean for that 3 minutes before I'm dropped?

If it's comfortable, I may take take the plunge on an Aliante. What's the difference between the one you gave me to try and the one on your Lightspeed?kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04242675639339072985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212328702087622896.post-77982909796119097602007-12-04T14:15:00.000-06:002007-12-04T14:15:00.000-06:00Man, you've got your new bike, Adrian has the new ...Man, you've got your new bike, Adrian has the new sound system -- all I've gotten in the last two weeks is a head cold.<BR/><BR/>You looked pretty smooth last week on the Trek - I think you'll really feel a difference in confidence when in close quarters in a pace line with the STI shifters you have now.Bob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06969697808418980258noreply@blogger.com
