Finally Lucille is ready for our next chapter together. Lucille is a 1998 Softride Roadwing that was a twin to my wifes. We got them to take her triathlons to the next level as she had used a very old hand-me-down Trek.
I was training for Triathlons then too, only work got in the way, then we moved to Arizona and everything got in the way. I learned how to ride a bike on Lucille. (A long story for another day).
In a moment of weakness I sold it to a friend doing tri's in 2002. To read about how Lucille came back into my life read this.
It was providence that she is back in my life and with perfect timing. I will be finalizing my racing schedule this weekend, I have to get all my print outs and paper scraps together to hammer it out.

VERY nice bike!!!!! And how cool that she has a twin - what's the other's name?
sweet ride. i've always wanted to try a beam frame. i would think that it has to be so much more comfortable than my aluminum specialized.
Unfortunately, Lucille's twin was sold out of state. Mistress has abandoned the sport to care for our child, the Mighty Mo, who needs special attention.
Hot, hot, hot...wow. You, if nothing else, will look fast on that bike! The model I was looking at was a little different, maybe older? It was a "solo" model. I think the guy is still selling it. Maybe I am still considering it???
fabulous ride! I can't wait to see you in action.
She's a beauty!! Glad to see you reunited again!
