What I ended up getting

[roadie gal]

Thanks to all who helped me decide on my "midlife crisis purchase" bike. Here's what I ended up getting:http://www.sampsonsports.com/bicycles/diablo.php. (This is an actual picture of my bike. It was easier to send the link than for me to try to take pictures on my own.) I got the DuraAce double.

Unfortunately, I think it will be June before I can ride it. Here's my 10 day forecast: Ugh!

My bad. I put in not quite the correct link. My bike is set up as a tri bike. It's the one on the diablo specs page.

even a worst forecast than Tahoe. Looks like an interesting bike, enjoy when the weather clears.
