Northern California - MyLilPony scores new little pony

Or perhaps rather than a little pony, it's a studly stallion.

I innocently took her to the City to "check out" some bikes. After a mere four stores she started to kinda consider the Surly Cross-Check. They had her size, and were willing to ship it to a closer store if she called them after she'd thought about it a while.
But, well, after a parking lot ride, and, lunch and, hey, there we were anyway.....

So this will become her commuter bike, and her current commuter bike with transmogrify back to the mountain bike she's been missing.

I guess I'll be working on my fender, computer, rack, seat bag, pump and pedal adding skills soon.

Others may lust for a pool boy, but MyLilPony has a bike boy.

Nice bike...great color!
American cyclery?

You should have stopped by...we were lazy today and just hangin around!

We went to several shops, and liked the people in all of them, but no one had her size. Apparently Cross-Checks in any size are in short supply.
We went to Freewheel, Pedal Revolution and then Box Dog Bikes, who sent us to Sports Basement, where Tricia found her bike.
You should have seen her test riding in the underground garage.

Sweet! I love that color of Cross Check and it is such a versatile bike. :thumb:
In the "off season" she can even race it.

Oooh, veddy, veddy nice. :beer:

Kind of wish I'd gone with the Cross Check instead of the LHT. Ah well. Live, learn, have fun in the process.

First real ride, out and around Contra Loma. She likes it.

The beauty of the bike is outshone only by the beauty of the rider. You take very flattering pictures, Curtis.

Tell T we said congratulations on her new ride!
