Having a great time so far - did my first 25 miler today. That's 5 miles farther than I ever went on the hybrid, and my average pace was almost 2 MPH faster as well. Almost time to take back to the LBS and get the cables readjusted.

Congrats on the new bike, I too came from a Fx hybrid to a Trek madone 2.1( mine was '13 in viper red) I still have my Fx for shen i lug around the kids around in the trailer. The Madone is a solid bike and a easy bike to enjoy!
