My new commuter is finally here (pics)

I have been using my Litespeed as an occassional commuter and enjoyed it enough to get a more appropriate bike. I wanted something made out of good steel, not to heavy and with longer chain stays. I decided I wanted a used Lemond Poprad, but when I started looking and bidding on them on ebay I had a hard time getting one. Now that Lemond and Trek have split and you can't get a new Poprad the used ones are pretty popular and holding their value. I found this one on Craigs list in Arkansas and after talking to the guy a few times on the phone he was nice enough to send it to me. I have ridden it around the neighborhood a few laps but thats it so far. I don't like the tires on it and am going to find some 28 road tires. It rides great and the saddle feels good so far too. It is in good condition other than being a little dirty. It also came with a set of Nitto Noodle bars which seem pretty comfortable.
