I have the hardest time letting go of money. I get physically sick if I spend more than 100 dollars on anything for myself. Last year I talked myself into buying a Cannondale road bike after months of riding around on a heavy hardtail mountain bike on the road. I've been wanting a full suspension mountain bike but I just couldn't convince myself to go through with purchasing one since last year I made a big purchase. Yesterday DH and I were at the LBS and I was talking to the cannondale rep about this years Feminine Rush. Well this morning my husband tells me he is running to the store for some chocolate milk. When he returned home he informs me that my new bike is on order, showing me the receipt as proof, he got a good deal, so I was especially pleased. I tell you, this touched my heart so much, better to me than any piece of jewelry he could ever buy.

How wonderful! You'll love your Racer X. I just bought a used one and am having so much fun on it. It's way more bike than my skills deserve at this point (I am a complete mtb newbie), but it's just a lovely ride.

I've got a good one too.
After getting NO fenders installed at the bike shop yesterday "what do you expect", the LBS owner said to me "this is a race bike.. It's not for slogging through the rain" She then went on to disparage OTHER LBS's in the area for selling bikes like mine... I quickly admitted that i bought it on ebay; she couldn't blame it on a LBS...
I got home with this sad tale of woe and DH said, bring your bike in, I think i have something that will work. And sure enough, in 30 minutes i had at least a rear fender.. He was so tired, after a bad night the night before and he still took time to do that.
Whattaguy!

"Sigh" It can't arrive quickly enough for me... In about a week and a half. I don't have my own pictures of it yet. But here is a link with a pic and a list of the components.
