Re: New bike!

It seems just about everyone wants to see me riding a pink bike though

I do have a current Nalini and it's a size S women's.

Size S doesn't feature on the Nalini website. The three sizes with S in them are XXS, XS and SM - hence slight confusion.

XS will probably be OK - I've got small shoulders.
