just thought i'd say hi getting into road biking for the first time so got a bike dimond back podium 1 rides great. i used to ride mountain and desided to try the other. i guess the only real big deal is getting used to the small seat ouch but it should get better over time.

so anyway hello

yeah i went to my lbs and they gave me a pretty good deal. i think any way. did a bike fit for me DMB podium one a set of clipless pedals. a pair of 661 shoes which they had in my size 13 sweet. traded out seats for me cause the stock one was junk ouch no padding. put a new stem on to fit me has an ajustable head height on it pretty sweet design i think good qualty. got my shoes fitted to me the cleats and what not got the seat front to back and height wise where it needed to be .

at first i didn't think that buying from a lbs was a big deal but the first time i rode the bike and by the time i walked out of there huge differance in my opinion . oh and free maint. for a year . so thats cool . i got it all for under 700. i thought it was not bad
and so far totally happy with it. oh and does the podium 1 usally come with carbon forks?
