LMFAO

I know you would be disappointed and heart broken loaning out your bike for a month, so I respectfully decline your generous offer.

So, the manufacturer is going to send me (my bike shop is taking care of it) a new frame in a different model that is a step up from what I have now.  The retail price for a bike with this frame is about $800 MORE than my old one.  It is much more beefy and ony weighs about 1 lb more.  The bike shop will move everything from my current bike to the new one (brakes, shifters, wheels, cranks, cassette, etc.) so this little upgrade won't cost me anything except for a little time.

Oh yeah, don't forget to remind them to move this part over to your new wheels:



How else would you cart your pooch around on those long rides?

BV's replacement bike has arrived!

The wife went "green" and ordered that model last month.  She's barely been home since.
