Fourth Party
Well, after several weeks of planning, some phone calls and emails, some minor adjustments and some shop visits, I brought home 1 of 2 of my new babies today. I started out with a regular Cannondale F29, and made the following changes before it left the shop
easton carbon bars and seat post
xt crankset and cassette
avid juicy carbons, 185 up front, 160 in the back
cannondale si stem
ergon grips
a rampage in the front, an ignitor in the back
and shimano 540's
really excited to finally get it home, unfortunately with a busy weekend and norms Noreaster 07 on the way, my first real ride may have to wait a bit.
Fun times at Halters today, everyone was in a chipper mood, there was some gentleman telling some jokes, I think J made everyone in the shop take it for a ride. Scalpel6 made a guest appearance, took the new 29er for a ride, he seemed to like it, next time we are out Bill, you're more than welcome to try it on the trails. More than happy with the new bike, I go back on Monday to pick up my roadie, which I am also looking forward to. Since I was in the spending mood I also picked up a pair of those Lake winter shoes, no more cold feet.
Of course, a HUGE thanks to J and his staff for the advice and patience, answering calls and emails, letting me hang around while at work just to look and kill some time, and the laughs and good times that come with buying a new bike, thank you very much.
2 things to remember for the next time you try to buy alot of stuff on your debit card
1. make sure it is not expired
2. make sure you notify the bank prior to a large purchase so that they can remove the large spending block that you asked them to install in the first place
anyway, thanks again to Jdog, I will try to post a pic for you all soon.
