Lovely. First day on my summer bike, and it just feels so easy to ride. As a touring bike, it's no lighter than the MTB I ride in the winter - both clock in at about 30 pounds plus rider - but the narrow, high pressure tires just roll so nicely.

It needs some work done, and I feel like after a couple years of DIY, it might be time for a professional to give it a once-over. So I'm a bit worried I've left it too late and will be without my beautiful bike in prime riding season.
