Tom,
You are right on about it not impressing anyone with blistering speed. However it is one of the most comfortable bikes I tried at the LBS. It makes a fine utility bike and I use it to go to the grocery store and some other small errands during the week. I just knew that I wanted my first new bike after all of these years to be one I would ride. Not because I could force myself to but because I enjoyed it. Now that I have adjusted it so I can get a bit more power going up hill I will more than likely ride even farther than I have been. It is the kind of bike that makes it easy to ride and because of that I am sure I can be bike fit in a year or so. Then I might be willing to look at a MTB or Hybrid because I will know I can and will ride it and it won’t just gather dust like I see so many doing around my neighborhood.
Bob
