Love this bike. Purchased it a couple weeks ago. Thought I'd share a few pics...

Hope you enjoy the bike.... Put many miles on it???

Have about 300 miles on it....barely broken in. I must say though. Very smooth ride. Very stiff and responsive yet smooth and comfy at the same time. Feels real good on the flats but I really feel the excellent performance of this machine when climbing and sprinting! Of course I'm coming off riding a 1998 aluminum Lemond. Very nice when I bought it but 10 years later the bikes are so much sweeter...

Yeah...tried several saddles including a few trek. This saddle seems to work best for me. May be a little heavier but I'm willing to sacrifice a few grams for comfort...
