Great job. Welcome.

I started with a front suspension MTB. Put slicks on it and went a little faster. Traded up to a hybrid commuter with 700-34 wheels and went even faster. Got an aluminum road bike last year with 700-23 wheels and now do woopee speed. Part of this is the bike, part of it is me getting in better shape and taking a few pounds off. Now I am looking at getting a carbon bike. I think I will start hitting the realm of diminishing returns with the next one, but what the heck.

Be careful. It's addictive.
