I made up my mind to go buy a bike today. I've been looking for a while and I was planning on taking my friend to get the bike after class. I was still just a little bit up in the air because the bike I wanted didn't have the gearing that I like. To get the gearing that I like I'd have to go for a smaller wheel which is a pain. So sitting in Louisa's x1/semester lecture aimed at scolding us on being lazy, I looked on the bike exchange. I found the bike of my dreams in my size with all of the parts that I wanted the frame, the wheels, the gears, and it matches the rest of my stuff.... Plus it was on sale so that it was the same price as the bike that I was going to buy.... Even though it is much nicer. The "down side" is that it is 17km further away along my favourite bike route. 

After class Steph and I rode down and tried the bike. It's fabulous. So Friday I get to pick up my new bike once it is all decked out and fitted to me:) 

The specs are below
