Of Course, The Bike She Wants Is No Longer Available

My daughter knows how to use the interwebs machines--and knows how to be a major pain in the ass--so she was able to check out the small road bikes and shit, and found the one she likes the looks of more than any others, the 2013 Orbea Aqua Dama in black with pink.  This is the same fucking hassle the pink Ibanez bass was giving me last year, only this year it's road bikes.



I think it looks really cool, actually, and it is pretty much like all the other 9-speed Sora bikes for women, but there is no chance in hell I'm going to find one in her size anywhere at this point.  The black with pink has set an unfortunate aesthetic benchmark that the 2014 candidates are not able to match.  Even worse, the 2014 aluminium Orbeas look like shit, with a weird, low attachment point for the chainstays and a goofy longer headtube.  Fuckers.
