I bought it yesterday, Silver Giant ORC3, and took it our this morning. It's great with the exception that i didn't buy shorts. Needless to say aside from the pain that i experienced I had a ton of fun.

Woo-hoo--new bike in the fold! Here are your next assignments:
1. Get some shorts (I'm hoping you already have a helmet).
2. Go out and ride, with the shorts on.
3. Get some photos.
4. Post the photos here.
5. Repeat number 2 indefinitely.

I didn't think I needed shorts b/c 1. Where I was planning to bike at has great roads, this is what I thought. 2. I wasn' t gonna go very far only 5-6 miles. Needless to say that the great smooth roads feel a lot different on a bike, so the 5-6 miles felt like 10 miles. hehehe

Heres a little bit about myself:
Well I'm 25 years old and live in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. I work at a Engneering company that is well known here in Hawaii. I took up cycling b/c running was becoming to much stress on my legs.

Lets just say that my frame size is on the smaller size, 44 or 45, so finding a bike on this island became a chore. Weeks of looking turn into months but it was great fun and a learning experince.

Thanks for all being great..

With regard to shorts.....no matter how long or short your rides are, I guarantee you will enjoy your ride that much more with a pair of bike shorts

Looking forward to seeing photos.
