Good luck with it. Pics and review are requested after you've had it for a week or so.
Hmmm...ok. I wasn't sure I would be able to compare my experiences to anything helpful since the last bike I owned was when I was 12 but I'll try my best. Maybe in a couple of weeks I can get around to it.
Thanks DaFriMon & bookishboy about the tire advice. The bike store said to bring my bike in after I'd ridden about 20 hours on it to tune things up so I'll inquire about getting some spare tubes and an extra pair of tires to keep in my storage. You guys were right about having to order them in since they don't stock them regularly. As for carrying the tubes with me, that will be pretty useles until I learn what to do with it. I'm going to look into some bicycle courses at my community centre that teach you what to do it you have a flat. I guess I can keep a tube with me in case I'm near an LBS when I get a flat.
Thanks for you help everyone. Should I start a new thread when I review the bike?
