Gimme Some Wheels!!

Soon, oh yes, very soon, I will have my bike. And thanks to the power of a boyfriend in the industry and a beautiful thing known as a pro deal, I'll have a pretty darn nice bike:



The Cannondale R1000 Feminine

Ah yes, a bike just for me. I'm so used to riding Randy's old hand-me-down mountain bike that I can't even imagine owning something that's actually fitted to me. I can't wait!

Only two questions:

1) Triple crank or compact double? (I'm leaning toward the triple because, hey lots of gear options are good, but am wondering how much better the shifting is on the compact. Any thoughts?)

2) Blue or black?
