  7. SO PRETTY!!!! You better tell that wife of yours to watch out....there's a new girl in town!!!

    Name?

    ReplyDelete
  8. She is unnamed as of right now. A friend on FB, Keri, suggested the Carrot readers should help come up with a name. I like that. Maybe run a name the TT game in a few days and then have everyone vote on it. I am not creative so I need help.

    If anyone knows of anyone looking for a 52cm Quintana Roo Tequilo let me know. The bike is meticulously maintained and lives in the house. Even though she is young she has lived a very plush life so far!

  18. EMZ is still recovering from her run, don't worry about her, she will be peeing uncontrolably for awhile.

    Dude, as I said on FB, sweet flippin ride. Did you even break the red headed step child in before you disowned her?!

    Enjoy her. As I said before, be gentle and ease into her, never want to break them in too fast ;)

  31. This is on hot ride. I was just at a shop looking at the B14. I am trying to decide on it or the Trek Speed Concept 7.2

    Congratulations...I bet you are faster on it!

  32. Jeff, you weren't kidding hombre. That is some serious bike porn. You delivered. You should be nicknamed "the postman." No, wait... too Karl Malone. How about... "the OBGYN?" I like it. I like a lot.

    By the way, Chrissie is as sweet smelling as magnolia's in the morning sun. Oh, wait... you are from Texas. She smells better than a T-bone steak grilled medium rare. WAAAAAAAaaaahoooo partner!

    Beer Good. Fire Bad.

  38. Great looking bike! I ordered one back in September and still waiting for Felt to deliver it. Are you going to cut the aero extensions down to size and clean up the cables? I hope it's worth the wait!
