It's parked out in the rain right now (but this is in the far west wing of the far west campus - reasonably safe). And honestly, non-bikers don't perceive its difference (my coworkers said so).
It was raining lightly but steadily all the way in. The bike is like a Newfie dog... it just loved it. Even going through the two-inch deep puddle, the mud flaps kept the water where it belonged; everything is sealed inside itself. I hadn't realized that riding in the rain does feel different in the drive train on a regular bike - I could tell I was riding on a chain that wasn't getting sloshed on.
I couldn't find my red and blue spoke lights this morning... maybe tomorrow.
(And I am again grateful to Gore-Tex!)
