I know a lot of people say they love their new bike, but .......... I love my new bike. I'm going from a decent road bike to this hybrid and I don't mind the downgrade at all (switched to hybrid after wrecking last year). This bike is really responsive, quick, and comfortable. Shifting is not bad at all with the Tiagra components, quite smooth actually.
So far I've added Ergon GP5 grips/bar ends, 2 bottle holders, rear light, and an old saddle bag. This weekend I'll get a GPS mounted and probably a front light.

Let me guess 23pds? Really looking forward to seeing one soon.

Dang man, you're good. I borrowed a scale today and the bike checks in right under 23 lbs. BTW, it's a size Large.
I don't trust bathroom scales, they're known liars !!

Welcome. That's a great pic. You only have about 1 week of decent weather left? Just curious, I'm in florida.

Unfortunately we don't live in Florida so 1 or 2 more weeks and it's raining or it's cold. Keep in mind I am not a hard core cold weather rider (yet!)
Probably we will have to store the bikes till the Spring! unless I have to start riding to work
or if the weather magically improves maybe 1 more month of riding
