Yahoo!!!!! Wheppppeee!!! I finally got my bike! It's a 2005 Specialized HardRock Sport. I would have gotten it sooner but the dealer ran out of the 2004 model. Several days later, they got in a 2005 model. But it's not at my location. Urgh. More wait time for them to transfer it to the store at my location. My experience with bicycle inc is exceptional (thanks, Sean for sticking around even after the store has closed for 30 minutes--although a lot of the stuff you told me about bikes went way over my head
).
I'm so exhausted. The weight of the bike is so amazingly light. Sean took the front wheel off and I nearly fell to the floor at how freaken light weight the front wheel is!!!
I can't wait to take it out for a spin tomorrow morning. I promised to put up pictures ASAP. Thank you all for your replies. I'll post more about my experiences later. For now, I'm gonna hit the shack!!!!
