Holy hell, and I thought I put my C40 through its paces. Aero bars on a hybrid with shocks is something I have never seen.
Furthermore, please please please get a road bike. I put a couple of thousand miles on my C40 before I got a road bike, and the difference is amazing. I don't even have a particularly high end roadie, but at this point (after getting a third bike also) I actually dislike riding the C40, due to its "squishy yet chunky" ride and rarely ride it anymore. Only in the rain.
