Rode in the San Jose bike ride today on my road bike. Felt completely over-equipped for going just 12mph. I rode with a friend who owned a 10 year old Trek carbon road bike with Ultegra. He wanted to trade bikes so we did for a few miles. I think he was in love with my Bianchi even with the Sora groupset; I had to ask for it back because he didn't even try to switch back. I like my bike better too (cosmetically), but I've got to admit that his bike shifted and rode so smooth.
