@hansbrea, it's fun getting those kinds of goodies in the mail. Enjoy them.

So my "achievement" is that I rode my new road bike for 15 miles today! I haven't been on a drop bar bike in years so I thought I'd have more of a learning curve. Also it has a Brooks B17 Standard saddle that's working out well. I will say that the fork was left uncut so my handlebars are higher up than a typical road bike would have. The stem is about the same height as the saddle. I'm fine with that though, especially riding in an urban setting where I need to see over cars.
