Looks cool Magenta.

it is super comfortable also :-)

It needs to be super comfortable, and still that way after a 20 mile ride. My tolerance on my bike is about 20 - 25 miles, then I start to walk as if my backside is on fire and puckered up!

Have you tried it with a bike seat John? Maybe you wouldn't have that problem.

LOL

Yes. Without one the tolerance is about 2 feet, and that is before the reaming out!

My bike has a not too hard solid leather (non-padded) saddle. It is hard on the butt with the continuous leg action of pushing down on the pedals.

Hi All! Hope everyone is well.

Sorry though, I don't own a bike anymore. <sighs>

I wish I hadn't blown my Knee when I broke my leg...I miss riding.
@ Magenta and Chris, Nice Bikes.

Cool bikes Magenta and Chris! Wish I did something about my bike, it stands there in the garage, totally rusty...shame on me, but it's so easy when you have a car. I remember, a few years ago when I couldn't afford a car at that moment, I always had to take the bike or go on foot to take the kids to school or go to the store for example...much healthier, that's for sure!

Hi gang...

@ Chris - I could never have a bicycle i didn't like the look of...so it is both a fashion statement, and a great bike. Your bike looks cool too!

@ Dan - the bike was actually reasonably priced due to two things. First, it was heavily discounted ($1699 down to $959) because it is a 2009 model. Second, we went to the shop quite by accident when they had 20% off store wide, even this sale item. So the bike was $767 with a kick stand thrown in.

@ John - my new bike has a solid leather "Brooks" seat, which is a little uncomfortable at the moment because it is new...however, the Brooks website says that they become more comfortable over time because it is leather. Time will tell.

The Bat got a new bike a few weeks ago, so we will ride to the bike shop today to get some fenders and a rear basket for shopping and my sparkly, super cool new bike will be complete :-)

fenders

You mean mudguards?

Yes. Quite right Chris...but since Electra bikes are American, I thought I should adopt their lingo ;-)

I am also hoping to work out how to justify having "Brooks" mudflaps (which would match my seat and grips) on new mudguards. Expensive, but lovely!

Night night everyone...we have to get up early to take my bicycle to the shop to have the mudguards and rear rack fitted.

Will post a photo of the result :-)

Well done. Julie!...That's awesome...I myself struggle with paint by numbers...I can't stay in the lil bitty sections with the proper colors.

---

PROUD TO BE TFFE!

Daniel,
I can't even see the little numbers!

Magenta, I can't wait to see your new rear rack! Oh, and I bet the mudflaps will look great on the bike too!
