Yeah. Lisa wanted to get herself a really nice bike. She was just fed up with spending her few free hours riding her old one and since she got a bonus for her promotion (which is what has taken away so much of her free time), she decided to go for it. Went to a bike shop run by the S.O. of another pathologist and ordered herself a Pinarello FP5. The bike took almost 4 months to arrive. The shop owner says there are often delays when ordering European stuff, but the Italians are the worst. ;-) Anyway, it did eventually arrive and it's gorgeous. (And it weighs 16 pounds, 11 ounces.) So then Lisa decided to get me one for my birthday, thinking at would be another 3 month wait. Turns out, they had a few in her shipment that hadn't been paid for in advance and one was in the size I need. So I'm getting it this weekend!
