THanks !

I just made it to work, 7.2 miles... totally awesome ride.

I definately need a taller seat post, and I already have the stock one 10mm above the minimum line and its still too short.. =)

So I rode in the drops most of the way to give me a similar feeling to my Dawes lightning DLX road bike that I've been using for a few months...

=)

The bike feels very light, and I think its only a pound or 2 lighter than the dlx, however the ride from this frame is much smoother. =)

The 48x18 gearing was also very light and easy to push with the 170mm cranks... Overall I think I made a good choice with going back to this frame !
