Take this with a grain of salt this is the C&V Forum after all but don't be too quick to run out and buy that nice and shiny new plastic bike. I was in the same situation returning to cycling after many years of not cycling. I was forced to quit running after developing a chronic injury to my left foot and switched to biking. I now had the disposable income to buy whichever bike I chose at the LBS. I had just gone to watch Iron Man in Hilo and was pumped on getting a fancy new hi-tech bike. I bought a Giant Defy with a composite frame and Tiagra 10 speed group. I quickly found what I liked about the bike was the dual control shifters not so much the frame. I also should have gotten a bike with a compact double crankset instead of the standard crank the bike came with. I quickly grew frustrated with fit and comfort problems and went back to riding my old Motobecane hybrid. I would suggest riding the Puegoet until you can say definitively what you do and don't like about it and then you will be ready to get a new bike. If you go to buy a new bike before you really know what you want you will most likely buy what the salesman wants you to buy and not what is best for you.
