The Arms Race Report - The Tea Bag Edition

So...

A long, long TIME ago, in a place so far, far South, lived a little girl. She grew up in a village where parents chain their children's up in fear they might bite the mail man and they drink tea, hard, no milk. Little girls here grow up dangling a cigarette on their lips and a wrench in their hand. To date them, if you don't have the piece, you will get a piece. There are no such things as Vampire Diary or Twilights, them vampires and woofies walk gingerly around this village and never look back. This is where New Zealand Black Ferns come to offer free citizenships and criminals becomes victims themselves.

Yes, you know the rest of the story. The little girl from this village wondered around the wild and eventually landed in a big city, bumped into a crowd of chubby wannabes, robbed one of them of his bike and rode herself to a contract with a pro team. Found love and became a lady and now to complete the Cinderella story, decided to dump the men's bike and ride something that's more fitting.

Tallie's new Specialized Ruby Elite with Shitmano Ultegra and Easton EC90SL. And yes, she kept them tea bags...

Pink bar tapes anyone? Pops has them under his double wrapping bar tapes...

Normally the rough roads of her village requires a Specialized Roubaix to conquer a la Fabian-rumoured-to-have-turbo-charged-motor-in-his-bike-but-it's-actually-in-his-legs-Cancellara at Paris Roubaix. But Tallie is a lady now, she rides a Taggie now, Ruby! We meant Ruby!!!!!!!!

According to typical U.S. marketing propaganda, a.k.a. Specialized, dat piece of rubber absorbs vibration from the road. Tallie don't mind them vibrations we are told...

Papa ain't the only special one no more...

Specialized bottle cages, a pressie from the Taggie.

Dinki: (roadies are kitties...) Rubber in the fork too? Why not just ride a full suspension?!!!

We wish to clarify that these photos are sent from the newly transformed lady Tallie, and yes, we noticed the many focused shots of them rubbers. We not sure what to suggest here...

One last reminder of the new lady like Tallie bike...

TallieTag is rumoured to return to the road in August...
