New Bike
I just traded my Orbea Aqua for a new 2012 Secteur Comp with 105 gears. Since it was an old model I got a real bargain. I plan on breaking it in with a metric century this Sunday.

I was looking at a sectuer 2 weeks ago. I ended up with a leftover '12 Rubaix. But the Secteur rode very well indeed. The Rubaix fit a little better. And cost me 150$ more than the Secteur. I coulda lived with the Secteur but I really liked the Rubaix.
I hope you enjoy it. They're great bikes, ya done well Grasshopper.

100 miles on a new saddle? Brave man.
Something about a new bike that makes peoples brain fade. Pictures required and what Pie on the inaugural ride?

Stapfam, I switched my Brooks B-17 with about 1000 miles on it over to the new bike. It is only a metric ( 62 ) century. I haven't rode 100 in one day since back in the 90's but might try it this Sept.

I was going to say that too if Rons hadn't responded above yet. New anything when going on 100 miler, heck, even a metric, would be ill advised IMHO.

The 2012 Sectuer Comp is a very nice bike. Don't let these worry warts bother you, enjoy the metric.
