New Giant Roam 0 Hybrid, added a set of Vittoria 700X35C Hyper foldable road tread tires, Cat Eye wireless commputer, tool/saddle bag, seat of my choice. Fine tuned the componets and bike fit to my fit specs and she is good to go. I have put about 60 miles on her so far and the Roam 0 is a sweet riding little Hybrid.
The Vittoria tires are great for road riding.

Nice looking bike. I cross checked your rear deraileur cable pic with Giant's website and you seem to have a very sharp bend. Does that hinder smooth changes? Maybe an avid rollermajig would improve it even more.

[QUOTE=rise000;14117486]Finally my new hybrid bike arrived
That's a very classy looking bike. I see you have Sammy Slick tires, were they fitted standard? I have them myself and know how light and fast they are.

Very nice I have the 2012 Roam 0 that's the model at the top of the food chain here in the states and I love it. We can not get the XR 1 models here in the United States. Nice ride enjoy...

That is a beautiful bike. Is there any immigrations laws that would prevent me from driving to Canada and buying one of these and bringing it back to the US?

My Sawyer on Beach Cruise
I finally got to put on the Big Apples & swap out parts borrowed from my Dr. Fine...with Ergo Leather Grips, shorter black adjustable stem, black platform pedals.

defiantly not as nice as most of the ones already posted, but it works for me, and the wife has a matching one in pink, might be silly but i think she likes having matching bikes, maybe it's a girl thing, lol. anyway it works great for family rides

I have finally started riding again, after a bit of a slump. Since commuting is not practical at this time, I decided to just ride for fun. Crazy, right? I heard people do this.
My new bike for this is a Trek 7.2 FX, geared up with my old commuting racks, a Brooks B17, and Nashbar Trekking Bars. I am fortunate to have some flat, quiet country roads nearby, and have had some great rides of 8, 15 and 30 miles already. A stem swap and lots of tweaking to the bars and seat have got me pretty comfortable on it.

Looks like a great set-up for some touring.

Thanks, erg79! That was definitely on my mind while putting it together, if only as an optimistic "someday" use.
