Finally! I got me a bike! It's a 2008 Fuji Team, super, super lightweight, scoots right up hills even on a standard double (upgrade to compact double will occur at some point).
I've been riding a ~1998 GT mountain bike on road rides for a year and a half. Wednesday I did 40 miles on it, with a group, and was able to keep ahead of some of the group even. I came back from that ride with energy still to go.
Took the new baby out for its' maiden ride today, 35 miles, had a blast and I'm so tired and sore! New position and geometry, I suppose. If I can't make the saddle feel better after some tinkering then I'm going to have to replace that with something a little better fitting. But I can just tell - once I get my new muscles in, this ride is going to be FABULOUS.
Will post pictures of me and Streak later (it's blue, and fast, so blue streak... haha)
