Well after putting some more miles on it I can definitely say its a pretty sweet ride. I am not a fan of the 700x32 tires though (I feel like I'm riding through mud) after getting used to riding on 25s. Here are some pics that my girlfriend snapped (and turned into a sweet collage).

The yellow chain links were necessary because I changed out the front chain ring for a larger one (and the co-op I was at didn't have any red links). Everything else on the bike is stock.
