Update:

I bought the 05 Cypress SX,

Michelin 700c x 28 , the 04 seat, and a straight flatbar for no additional cost.

I picked it up last Sunday evening and put like 7 -9 miles on it.
didn't get it all dialed in and ended up with a sore butt on monday lol.

For not riding in so long Monday was a 14.5 mph avg to work and 11.9 on way home 5.6 miles one way (back roads)

Today Wednesday I took the state route to work 3.9 miles one way and had an avg mph of 18 to work, and on way home in a soaking downpoar I avg'd 15 mph

(btw blue jeans add a bunch of weight you have to lift up when soaked)


I love this bike!! it may not be the fastest but it sure isn't the slowest. The shocks do take a bite out the power, but nothing really I can do about that, as I don't have a liftime prescription to pain meds. after 35 total miles yes my arm still hurts, but it is livable and an areo (sp) bar might help.

Once I get my lungs back from smoking, and get my legs back into shape I'll see what kind of averages I can do on longer rides.

This bike is a cruiser and comfy!!
