Ryko - thanks for rotating the pic, and the props on the bike! I still love it and it rides great. I think it's just about perfect for my commute. A little more powerful front lighting and maybe a slightly larger big ring would be the only changes.
I wasn't planning on getting that nice a bike when I first shopped, but luckily I listened to experianced commuting friend and increased my budget. I've never regretted it ... reminds me I want to get my friend a Christmas present to thank him for his help.
