Foo - pssst...

I posted this in road forum but I wanted you guys to see them too!
Here they are!
After sneaking around thrying to not only influence the decisions but also driving you all mad with my questions, I present to you my new wheels!

I really made out considering my family has no clue about cycling, I even included a pic of the happy girl wearing a cannondale outfit,why cannondale? No idea, maybe they thought I had a Cannondale!
It's keeping me warm,So it's all good...

( oh and I dont ride on strapped pedals when Im not injured:p )

I think the sun impaired your vision that day:p
those tires are AWESOME!!!!!!!!
I went out in the rain, couldnt believe that traction, Iusually have to slow down in sharp corners, well,not with those babies!
Im in love with my new set up!
and you know what? they are aero enough for me, there was side wind and wow, that was tough, Im glad I didnt get deep dish.

I'd be afriad to ride that thing. It looks all PRO and stuff.

What kind of bike is that? the bars hang so far over the front end :eek:

tri-bike

:lol:
it's a tt bike, those are the earo bars, you drop your lower arms and elbow on them, it's give you more of an aero position and you can go faster :)

I am afraid to ask - HOW fast? I am getting tempted by new bike...

If you want an aero position you just get into the superman position.

Anyways, I think I'd like to trail you and pick up on your draft. Or whatever it's called.

Karen, I don't know which looks better, the wheels or you!

Pheard, that's called wheelsucking (kidding!):D

Love yer wheels. Hate the fact that you have sunshine. :) We've been socked in here in Kansas.

Dayum! Nice wheels! Santa was good to you!

Dang, uh, I think Santa made a mistake and those were supposed to come to my house.... ;)

Nice looking wheels and I've always thought your TT bike was one of the nicest I've seen. I'm a big fan of black and yellow.

Now I know who I'll be talking to when I have wheel-buying questions. Nice wheels! And great bike! :D

awesome wheels!

thanks guys :)
yeah Im as happy as can be.
it increase my speed and more importantly increases the timeI want to be on my bike, never thought Id be biking in NH in late december and I cant get off the thing, so it's all good!

Now you need lights. Riding after dark is fun.

nice bike, does your husband see you any more, my wife would if i had a bike like that

Now you need lights. Riding after dark is fun.
I think Ill skip, going fast is not dark friendly to me! those are skinny tires:p ( translate, Im too chciken!)

nice bike! looking good there! I'm diggin those Ksyrium SLs

Looks great BDG. I'm jealous right now I would love to ride my bike.

You look great in the yellow and black too kit and the bike!!!

Congrats on the new wheels! He did get the ones you wanted eh? Woooooo Hooooooo!! That's a cool looking kit, too. ;)

Now if only I could get mine going.....hmmmmm.

Nice wheels BDG. They're a little stiffer than I prefer, but you probably don't ride on chip sealed roads very much. :)

Guess you need to tell your family you need a cannondale system six to go along with your kit... for your birthday of course. ;)

There were wheels? All I noticed was the blonde babe lookin good in the cannondale kit :)

Just teasing ya!

skinny tires lose traction in the dark but are okay in the daytime??

;) they look great! sooo much better looking than those tri-spoke wheels you were drooling over :D

mmm nice. I like the look of Felt bikes. I might buy something else from them eventually.

Yep....we need to find a way to sneak a niterider HID onto BDG's bike.....next thing you know she will be making threads about how they need niterider chargers everywhere! :D

Seriously, I love that thing...you have to be going really fast to not notice anyhting on the ground with that kind of candlepower...cars keep thinking I'm a car, and that's good...it keeps them actually obeying the traffic codes.

Nice, BDG!!!

yeah, Im not that fast,but Im not slow either:p
sometimes I wonder what comes over me when I ride.. it's strange.
Im an overprotective mom with my kids and when Im on the road something takes over, love speed and yep, I know what the boys talk about when they say they love going around cars or keeping up with cars as long as they can..
I need to grow up, but I just dont have it in me:p

I was drooling over the guy with the HED's..
I will bite my tongue (Ouch!) I will bite my tongue (Ouch!) I will bit my tongue (Ouch!) . . .

BDG, you simply cannot give us pree-verts straight lines like that.:D
