Amy & Wim

After 3 long weeks, dreaming of our very own bikes, we finally got the liberating email from the bike store! It took a long trip to the Netherlands, and an extra hour of traffic jam, before we could finally see the beautiful Avaghon series:

How do we like things:

• Brooks conquest leather saddle
  
• 4 Ortlieb saddlebags
  
• 14-speed Rohloff gears are just the best invention for a bike after the wheel!!!
  
• Deore XT group
  
• Tubus carriers in front and back
  
• Steel frame
  
• Holder for regular 1.5 liter bottle
  
• Ergon handlebars
  
• Anatomic Bar ends
  
• 40-17 gears instead of the standard 42-16
  
• 15 degrees angle steering wheel
  
• 26" Schwalbe Marathon XR tires
  
• Magura HS-33 hydraulic brakes
  

They ride like lightweight bulldozers, unstoppable and fast. Till we buy a very decent lock, and we un-fancy them with lots of nasty stickers, they will be sleeping close to us in our living room...
