Hi All

Thank you for your advice on bikes. I actually bought a bike today. I ended up with a Specialized Dolce Vita Multi-sport in a size 51. It fits like a glove and feels great. I got an amazing deal. It seems several LBSs are phasing out Specialized and will not be carrying it anymore so I got it for $799 (05' retail was $1100). I am glad I waited and did not buy the Eros Donna. I think it would have been too small, not to mention a lot more expensive.

I need to get used to the buckle pedels. I already fell over at the LBS...going 1 mph at the most because I couldn't get my shoe out fast enough LOL. How embarrasing.

Thanks again
Sandi
