New 2006 Lemond Zurich

I have had my Zurich for almost a week and have ridden it about 100 miles. 30 mile rides have never been so easy. Great bike and the frame material and fit/geometry is making the riding experience much more pleasurable and efficient than the oversized 54cm Aluminum ride I had before. I knew I would appreciate the difference between a cookie cutter Alu frame and a well made steel/carbon frame.
I have also dropped the belly (about 40 lbs) since last "season" (I live in Florida, not really an offseason), so I am sure that helps, but I never knew the hoods and drops were so much fun!
Having all Ultegra sure is nice as well. The Race Lite wheels seem very solid and provide a great ride. The only thing I don't like is the Bontrager saddle. Feels okay, but has absolutely no style. Selle Italia or Fizik will replace it soon.
Looking forward to many great rides on from what I understand from many of you is a great bike. I will post pics, but the pics I took can't shrink down to under 100mb.
