Tell you what, after my first ride in the outdoors... she accelerates like she's got rocket boosters. Comin from a 30ish pound 21spd mountain bike to this...
Its a bit of a paradigm shift. I just wanted to keep going hard. But that little voice in the back of my head was "Dude, Um... your HR's 175. Slow the eff down."

Nice looking bike! I like the way the red contrasts with the black. Makes it look really sharp IMO.
Congrats!

Nice bike! I ride a CAAD as well. They are great bikes. That's a pretty slick paint job too!

Awesome, I can't wait to get my new bike out on the road. As for HR, ah just don't look at it. I use it for training purpose but when outside I hide it so I can't see it...lol
