I rode 20 miles tonight on the new bike. Picked it up last night and it rides like a dream.

Description:
DURA ACE: rear derailleur
ULTEGRA: front derailleur, crankset/chainrings(triple), chain, cassette (9spd), shifters, brakes
RITCHEY PRO: handlebars, stem, wheels, hubs
Cane Creek: headset
Frame Aluminum
Pedals: Shimano SPD

I didn't get my shoes yet and this is my first bike to have clipless pedals. They included some platform adapters so I could ride until my shoes arrive.(should be any day). Even on the adapters this bike will move, especially uphill. That's where my classic bike falls short.
Oh wait, did I forget to tell you what kind of bike it is? haha
It is a Schwinn Fastback Pro!
