As the title says, I have a new bike. Well, I will tomorrow when I pick it from the LBS.
I told myself a few years ago if I keep up with my commuting I'd reward myself with an upgrade. After 3 years of service my Diamondback Copperhead MTB will now become my dedicate winter bike. I've only been riding front suspension MTB's for years.
My new ride is a 2011 Giant Rapid 2.

Can't wait to shave some time off my commute!
