Just in time for Valentine’s Day, I’d like to introduce the aforementioned new love of my life: LOUIE!
Cupid got me good this time. Louie is white-hot and stiff stiff stiff. (Quit giggling, Jocelyn.)
This is Louie undressed, unstickered, and un-Zipp-wheeled. I am gushing!
The best part of the story is how Louie and I came to meet. You see, I believe in fate. If we are meant to cross paths in this life, we will. But, it wasn’t without a fight. There was a Frenchman that almost came between us. I was ALMOST swept off my feet by this sophisticated, fashionable European. But, I listened to my gut, stayed true to myself, and knew that the “real Louie” was patiently waiting for me.
Santa brought me a special gift this year— the sexy Frenchman:
. . . by the name of Louis Vuitton.
I was enamored with the sexy sophistication and fashion-forward attitude of this smokin’ hot dude and his cute little sidekick wallet, but knew that there was a better match out there for me. It didn’t take me long to break up with LOUIS, and trade him him in for LOUIE! A girl’s gotta have priorities, right? For the record, my mother wanted to disown me when she learned of my plans. I could just picture that gorgeous bag smashed underneath my bike pump and smelly cycling shoes in my trunk. The Specialized Transition Expert seemed far more practical! Lucky for me, Santa concurred. And we decided that it was only fair to appropriately honor the Frenchman — and name the bike Louie!
In honor of his namesake, I’m currently scouring the internet for a Louis Vuitton sticker to put on my bike!
MERCI! MERCI! MERCI! to Santa for understanding my preference for a sweet bike over a designer bag . . . AND to Todd and Frank from Roswell Bicycles, who made this new love affair possible. I am so grateful for your support and hope to make you proud this year! Thank you for believing in me and making this happen. Mike and Ryan- I appreciate your diligence in getting Louie ride-ready for me.
Amy + Louie = True Love 4Ever!

damn he is a sexy beast!! so proud of what Specialized has done…I rode my Specialized for 7 or 8 seasons and got it before they even made tri bikes. enjoy having that fine specimen between your legs!!
SWEEEEEET !!!!
Remember, you can still carry 3 litres of sports drink on Louis 1, but you can’t ride Louis V.
Have fun. I am sure it will make you faster.
Are you my daughter? Did i raise you or were you brought up by a family named Armstromg? I never dreamed that any daughter of mine would prefer your Louie over my Louie. There is little greater thrill in life ( for me ) than when I venture out with MY Louie. My Louie has been on my arm for more years than I care to note. He has outlasted many a man in my life. As some would say, I’ve loved HIM the longest!!
mom, you are a constant source of entertainment!!!! you absolutely crack me up. hilarious. at least you didn’t suggest that i was raised by apes, which is where i thought you were going with that. i especially enjoyed the part about the purse outlasting the men. omg…. i think YOU need a blog.
You can’t give a bike a person’s name….. Imagine when someone asks you where you were and you’ll have to respond…. ” I was riding XXX” !!!!! LOL….
Congratulations…. It’s a beautiful bike……
Beautiful!! I have a bag that cost about half what my bike did.. and it has chain ring tattoos. It’s sad.
Love the new bike!
The new bike is gorgeous!! A few years ago I traded my diamond earnings (xmas gift) in for downhill racing skis… my husband knew he found a keeper, but my girlfriends thought i was crazy.
I can’t believe your mom reads you blog!
Yeah, I totally agree with your comment about Naj needing a blog. That’s the only reason I read your blogs, is to check out Mama Naj’s comments. Hysterical!!!
