It takes a big man to ride a bike that says "Rock'N'Roll Sweetheart".
It takes and even bigger man to make fun of that man. ;-)

Since everyone else seemed to have missed it... nice bike for the little lady. I hope it rides as good as it looks.

Throw the stick!!!!
Such a nice bike. Surely it deserves a wireless computer. Whoever put that one on really needs slapped.

It sort of reminds of the Team Rabobank colors.

Wireless is not nessasary. You can install a wired computer to the point where it is nearly impossible to see. Either way, the current state is a shame. It is a very nice bike but that wiring job is distracting.

Just picked this up the other night:
It's a 2006 BikesDirect Mercier Galaxy. It's in great condition; the original owner (my neighbor) bought it new in 2006 and I assembled it. He rode it around the block a couple of times and hung it in his garage until I took it off his hands. It's not the highest quality bike, but considering I'm currently roadbike-less, it's perfect.
The only thing really wrong with it is that the front derailleur is broken and that the wheels were never tensioned or trued properly. I've already installed Tiagra front and rear derailleurs and my GF is taking to wheels into the shop tomorrow for me. I've also replaced the bars with a set of Bontrager ergonomic bars, and I've got a set of Look pedals waiting to be put on (I have no cleats yet, heh.)
Oh, and I put the original saddle back on. That E3 saddle is horrible.
