Nice! That will likely give you a very good idea of just how nice those bikes are, that is if you've never ridden one before. If you have, then I'm just speaking gibberish and preaching to the choir. Glad the breaking down has been uneventful--the best kind of way to do it. The 24.5" or 61cm stuff is too small for me as well. 25.5" frames from Trek are what I fit very well, and in general 63-66cm is what I ride (and, naturally, have extra framesets of that I've been trying to sell...if only I decided to ship....).
