Great looking bike Buzzbomb! I wouldn't worry about the poser thing. I'm new to road biking (I've been mountain biking for years) and I just picked up a brand new 2004 Trek 5200. I would be considered a poser too since I'm still new to this, but I wouldn't strut my bike around either. I had the means to get a nice bike and I knew the components that I wanted based on my MTB experience. Enjoy that sweet ride!
