New Bike!

Well, I finally had to let go of my Cannondale and get a new frame. We bought it last year about a month before Nationals, and I have already outgrown it. It was 54cm and made for people under 5'10", and at over 6'1" I was really scrunched up on it, but I was really comfortable and familiar with the bike and didn't want to give it up. Besides, it was my first bike and all my awards and medals were won on that bike. My coach and my dad finally got me to see where I needed the bigger frame, so we picked up a 58cm Cannondale.  Pretty much the same bike, except that the old one was "raw" with no paint on the metal and this one is all black.  I know it will take me a few weeks to get used to it, and it feels like it moves around a lot more than the smaller frame, but they say that I look like I am supposed to look instead of being squeezed on the small frame.  Hopefully I will have enough time on it to get comfortable by the time Nationals come around in August.
