Just thought I'd post an update.

I received my 2004 Terry Classic a few weeks ago and I've put a few commuting miles on her (maybe 60 total so far?). I LOVE the bike. LOVE IT. From the first second I sat on her, I felt 100% comfortable...more so than on my road bike (which is a Specialized Dolce Comp). There is definitely a handling difference, but after 2-3 minutes on each bike, and I've adjusted to it...so not a big deal.

I rode the Classic for a few commutes last week and then this weekend, I rode my Specialized for our MS Tour. 150 miles later, and I'm find myself wishing that I'd taken the heavier Terry on the tour! As much as I love my Specialized...it just isn't as comfy as the Terry. Had the terry had drop bars, I would have ridden her. Now I'm saving up for the bar conversion AND looking for serious buyers for my Specialized so that I can buy an Isis.

I guess I'm hooked.
