drawing a blank.

Its a redhead... so "Rhonda Birchmore" (spelling?)

After 3 commutes and little bit of puttering around the neighborhood,
I've achieved 101km on my little red rocket.

I've also spent almost as much as I paid for the bike itself on
accessories. At $6 saved per round-trip commute I should be achieving
break-even by the middle of next month, with about 700km on the clock.

Yours in bicycley comradeship,

BTH

It's a great experiment but an awful bike - a long way from being
an object of bling-lust. This suggests to me a name: N-1

Never heard of her. After some googling I assume you're making
"redheaded and annoying" allegations? ;-)

(Also an annoying redhead).

Your suggestion will be taken into consideration. I was thinking of
something more along the lines of "Aaaargh! My eyes!" though. ;-)

Can I suggest an edit to your calculations BT? A Faresaver 10 trip
ticket works out at $2.40 per trip rather than $3.00. You might have a
few extra k's to ride to recover your dough :-)

You're a cruel man, Bean. Don't you think I'll have suffered enough
at $6 per day? ;-)

Just look at the up-side, it means you'll be riding into the warmer
weather and longer days before you pay it off! :-)

Hmm - red and white. The last fish I had in those colours was called Barry Hall.

Hmm, but I'm not in Melbourne any more, Toto! ;-)

Sorry, but I've decided on "Aaaargh!", in homage to "The Beast of
Aaaargh!" from Monty Python and the Holy Grail:

There's a reason people pay so much for quality components.

So you ride a Colnago and drive a Ferrari?

And Gucci underwear? Got to have the brand names!

No, no, no. You have it all wrong.
