Well, technically it’s not a new bicycle but it’s new to me. Thanks to my fabulous big sis (yes, the Crazy Runner, Minel), this Specialized Hardrock XC hand-me-down is now my race/training bike!

Isn’t it purdy? It’s my fav colour, too… BLUE! That’s not a photo I took (I’ll take actual photos soon) so you don’t see the 1/2-inch thinner tyres. So instead of having 2″ wide, they’re 1 1/2″ slim and flat (i.e., road-style tyres, rather than mountain bike).

Anyway, I’ve yet to ride on it cos I haven’t a helmet yet but will try to pick one up this week… Then I can test and adjust anything, if needed. WHEEEEEE!
