After weeks of agonizing and researching and waiting and being disappointed when my first choice (http://www.konaworld.com/bike.cfm?content=drfine) wasn't available, I finally have my new bicycle!

A brand new, 54cm, electric blue Dr. Dew (http://www.konaworld.com/bike.cfm?content=drdew)!
I just got home with it about 20 minutes ago. I haven't even had a chance to really ride it (I figured I should eat lunch first). It's really, really light compared to my old bike, though. The whole thing is noticeably lighter than my old bike sans wheels.
I just need to finish lunch, attach my cycle computer, and then I'm off on the inaugural ride! I think I'll go see if any of the local MUPs have cleared enough to be rideable.
Eeeeeeee! :D :D :D :D
Update: The MUPs are all still clogged with half-melted snow, but I rode a few miles around the immediate area, got some coffee, etc. Oh man, I love this bike! It's light, fast, nimble and the brakes? Oh god, the brakes! Hydraulic discs are pretty much pure sex. :D
