I do have a very old steel canonndale frame in my basement, size 54, blue. Needs a lot of work, but you can have it if you want.

what kinda work are we talking about?

It needs new components, basically. The ones that are on there are rusted, but I think the frame itself is in fine condition. I was going to build it up as a single speed, but I'm lazy, so I just bought the Fillmore.

Hey I know where Medina is! :) I lived in the Youngstown area -- Campbell, Boardman, East Palestine and Poland. Worked in North Lima for a while. Crazy city names in that part of the country. Guess it's no worse than Paris, TX tho. Or Texarkana.

Hmm, that makes sense! I bought it in 2004 from a lady who said it was a few years old. I tried looking it up through the serial number when I got it, but couldn't find the info at the time. Thanks, phys! :thumbsup:

Welcome to the Women's Forum, Barb. Make yourself at home. That's a heck of a stable of bikes you got there. :)

Name: Barb
Where am I from?: Pittsburgh

Isn't it amazing how many people are "originally" from Pittsburgh and don't live there now? I got out to go to college and have only been back to visit fam since. Loved growing up there, but man I think I would hate living there now. Where in the city are you from?

Yes, I have quite the stable of bikes, I like to keep my options open.

I'm from Highland Park in Pittsburgh, right near the reservoir and zoo. I also got out by going to college far far away. It's a fun place to visit but I don't ever see myself moving back there. Where are you from in da 'burgh?

I'm frome the North Hills. I spent a lot of time in HP cause I worked at the zoo for a few years. Loved the farmers market.

No pix on this computer, but I think I posted my Seven in the Seven forum ages ago (I visit this forum once every, oh, 2 months or so. I didn't even know they put up a women's forum (finally!)).

Be brave phys, estrogen isn't contagious.... :DBut I think I caught PMS from a female once.

now....don't be threatening to lock sogs in the basement again...WE ALL remember what happened the last time you did that.......:thumbsup:
I only vaguely remember that. Wayne's Swedish coffee has a bit of an amnesiac effect on me.

Regina, glad you found us. Like I say, make yourself at home. Drinks are in the fridge and the remote control is on the coffee table. :)

hope you've thawed out since then!

Fav drink at the bar? Sapphire and tonic or a Lemon Drop from the Bendistillery (this is not to be confused with the common Lemon Drop at other bars)

Yikes, you may want to talk to Toomanybikes :-) Welcome Sarah.

Snap and Sadie,

I have a ? about the lemondrops, I ordered one for my neice, who loves sweet and sour, but it was only sour. Shouldn't there be sugar on the rim or something? We love Magarita's and I thought it was going to be somewhat similar but lemony.

There does seem to be a large variety of recipes out there. Yes, it should have a sweet and sour taste to it, but the vodka makes a huge difference. Snap is far more versed in Lemon Drops than I.

This is the recipe from the Bendistillery (http://www.bendistillery.com/bnds_recipes.html). However, whenever I've ordered it there it has been made with lemon-infused vodka so the lemon is stronger.

LEMON DROP
Made with Crater Lake Vodka
Created by the Bendistillery Sampling Room - Bend, Oregon.

2 oz Crater Lake Vodka
2 oz Fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 oz simple syrup

Mix ingredients over ice in cocktail shaker. Shake and strain. Serve in a sugar-rimmed martini glass. Garnish with lemon.

So, snap, when is that tour of Hanger One?

There does seem to be a large variety of recipes out there. Yes, it should have a sweet and sour taste to it, but the vodka makes a huge difference. Snap is far more versed in Lemon Drops than I.

Awesome thanks, I think they forgot the simple syrup and they def forgot to sugar the rim. I may be able to talk here into trying again.

Trish welcome! I checked out your site, the Casati is beautiful:thumbsup: I hope to see some of those picts posted here sometime!

Cheers!

Thanks. Poor "Cassie" is in pretty sad shape now. That photo was in her prime. I rode her for 6 great years. We did 6 centuries in a year. She helped me cat up to Cat. 3 and hauled my butt through mountains, snow, and everywhere. She shows many battle scars from the fun rides over the years. She shimmies at anything over 15 mph, so she was retired to the trainer about 2 years ago. Her carbon fork shattered and was replaced by a blue steel fork. She was replaced by my custom Ti Dean. I'm already looking for the next custom ti road bike, probably in 2008.

No joke! I wouldn't be caught dead watching The View but did see that clip of him on the web. Made me love him more (but then I lost a bit of love when he pandered to Barbara WahWah later -- she has such a stick up the butt).

God, i'm so embarrassed for writing "red wine" (being in Northern California I have to be) -- favs: 1995 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cab Sav (when the boy and I have money to spare...which is very rare, we usually only get to have it at the winery tasting!), Guenoc Petite Sirah (and their Petite Sirah Port, mmmm) and Bonny Doon Cardinal Zin (when we have less money but some), Ca 'del solo Big House Red (when we're living like the grad students we are).

steel??

Which Seven do you have? and how do you like it? I am tossing up getting one to replace my Look KG 361 as I tend to ride a bit of an usual geometry for someone my height (5'5). I tend to like to be more stretched out on the bike as I am a bit longer in the torso then most my height. Otherwise looking at a Cervelo R3 or Time Edge.

Also the lemon wedge is supposed to be served with sugar on it. So that when you suck on the lemon after the shot you get both the sweet and sour.

Eddy:

This link shows pics of the various models of the Lemond Buenos Aires from 2000 to 2003. This removes all doubt, your Buenos Aires is definitely a 2001.

Say, Eddy, I think I may have seen you on Old La Honda Road Sunday. There was a lady with a yellow Buenos Aires wearing an Enron jersey. Was that you?

Hey, cool! Thanks, bornin53. (Were you born in 53?) That link gave me much more info than I expected. I didn't know the MSRP was $1530. I paid $300 for the frameset and wheels and didn't know if I was getting ripped off. An acquaintance who stripped all of the parts to put on her new frame sold it to me in 2004. It now has Shimagnolotro components. :crazy:

Hmm, three Sundays ago I was at the beach in Rio del Mar, so it must have been my evil twin you saw. Besides, I only wear white jerseys and RBR jerseys! :D

in 1953. Since cycling is the fountain of youth, I decided to wear my age proudly. Especially since I am in better shape than most people half my age, thanks to cycling 6,000 miles per year. I am going up to Markleville Friday for the Death Ride on Saturday, hoping to earn my 5 pass jersey.

I am glad you found the information about your Buenos Aires useful. I am somewhat of a Lemond junkie (the bikes, and Greg too, but to a lesser degree). I bought a 2003 Maillot Jaune frame on eBay and put parts off of a 2002 Lemond Tourmalet onto it. But I could not stop there; I upgraded the gruppo to full Dura Ace and upgraded almost everything else too.

I think I saw you say on Francois' hillclimb thread that you climbed Hwy 9. I get out there a lot so maybe I will see you on the road.

Have fun and safe roads to you.

Whatcha ride? Building up a Soma Double Cross tourer/commuter; Specialized Allez Elite for faster rides
With the price of gas nowadays I've been thinking of getting something like a Soma and building it up as a commuter. I converted my Pogliaghi to a single speed/fixed commuter but there's no room for panniers on it.

I'd love to see pics of it when you're ready to post them.

I will indeed post pics in the "bikes women ride" thread when she's finished (getting close- I'm excited!).
I've been commuting as my main form of transportation for about 6-7 years now and seriously believe that it maintains my sanity (or at least enough to get by). Saves money and keeps me in shape- body and soul!
