+1 Fauxto nick give good advice. I'm new to the sport and most all the people said "get good shorts." I rode a borrowed bike for about 3 month while I shopped. When I got my bike all the people in the club said "Go to 'Racer's Edge' and spend $100 for a fit." I did, and while the tech said "boy this is really close" it made a big difference in power and comfort.

It was good advice on both parts, and I have not regretted either. Love the bike, too, btw.
