Squeaky - I know how you feel. I just spent a lot of money - on me! - to get my new road bike (Thanks for the compliment on the paint job!)... I am also a "newbie," also have been riding my MTB everywhere... and also feeling the guilty pleasure of riding a road bike that is mine, and Very Nice!

My theory is this - when purchasing a tool, choose the best you can afford. For some reason, I tend to feel less guilty about a big purchase if I call it a "tool" rather than a "toy."

Congratulations! Enjoy your bike!
