She's finally mine.

She's finally mine.
It took a few months, but she's finally mine. What shall I name her? Sorry about the quality of the photos and the junk in my garage.

Slipstream, I like that... It suits her. I took her out for her first non-test ride today. She's going to take some getting used too, as she's my first road bike. Those skinny tires respond fast.

I'm picking up a new-to-me road bike this spring as well...an ORANGE Devinci...A friend of mine offered to sell it to me as she's upgraded...I am a mountain bike chick so road riding is going to be all new to me...

Re: She's finally mine.
Same with me. I was amazed that I was keeping up with traffic and not even pedeling hard, just a nice slow cadence... it was quite a differance from the Mtn Bike and having to churn like crazy to keep up.
