I got a mountain bike by inheritance :) It was gray and blue, very cool and unobtrusive. It was also a tad too large for me.
So off I went to a bike shop (or should I say numerous ones?), and had the frame changed to one more suitable for my height. Did I mention that I picked a candy-red frame? :)
I don't recall ever having owned a red anything before, apart from shirts. The one great thing about a red bike is, I save on reflectors, because everyone can see me from a mile away.
I've been riding the bike (old and new frame combined) for about a month now. In the process of upgrading my frame, I've bugged numerous bike shops, and the nice folks at pinoymtb forums. I've also changed the pedals, the saddle and the stem, the latter two to fit my body's dimensions (or so I tell myself). I've also purchased a pump (for air), tire levers, allen wrenches, tire gauges, cycling shorts, water bottles and a book on mountain bike maintenance.
Did I mention I did all that in the last month or so? Btw, I'm Meg and I'm a bike-a-holic.
