Got it! The LBS called this afternoon and I went and picked it up. The rest of the afternoon I set it up: I took off the reflecters, installed rear lights (a NiteRider CherryBomb and a Cygolight HotShot), front light (NiteRider 1500 Race), computer, a wedge under the seat with spare tube/patch kit, and frame pump (Topeak Road Morph). Next paycheck I'm going to buy it a set of Conti Gatorskins. I didn't ride it yet because it's after dark on Saturday Night and all the drunks are out. First ride will be tomorrow afternoon. The machine weighed 29 pounds nekked when I got it home (scientific bathroom scale method - stand on scale, look at weight, pick up bike, note change in weight). I'll post pictures here and at my blog tomorrow - - What a great time to be a bicyclist, they make even the inexpensive bikes excellently.
