Sure, why not? Here are a few pics I just took, starting to get dark here in Connecticut.









It's a 2011 model. I'll have on the UPS truck to New Jersey tomorrow!

Dont play with my emotions please... I am sensitive!

Nice looking bike. Love the white and black. Same as my Giant Roam. It is tougher to keep clean but it gives me an excuse to clean it more!

Rode 172 miles in the last five days of May, which includes my Birthday ride today of 68 miles. (B day actually 27th and only 67). Blew thru my goal of 350 and wrapped the month with 503 miles. Looking for 500 next month as well.

No miles yesterday due to the rain , but I'm right at 200 for the month, indoor, outdoor, and test rides . Went from Cannondale H300 to Spcialized Hardrock to Trek 930 as commuter. Think I've reached the summit of barter mountain on the commuter bikes .
