Beautiful bike!!!!!!!!! and way to go newbie!!!!!!!
I am also a newbie and started riding about 3 months ago. My DH bought me a very nice Specialized Roubiax for my first bike and I had the same question. But I just told myself to ignore anyone that rolled their eyes and remember how much I love riding.
I also found my bike on the Specialized website and learned as much about it as I possibly could. JUST incase I get some jerk that wants to quiz me! But no one has!
Happy riding!!!!!

Congratulations on your new bike!! All that matters is that the bike is a good fit and you love it.
Ride in good health.

Hi Squeaky - take it from one novice to another. Be happy that you got the bike you wanted and to hell with what other people think. I too bought more of a bike than I need (I have a Giant OCR Limited) but I lovelovelove to ride and will grow into it. Also, its a bike I can improve on without having to purchase another bike to end up with the same result (Unless of couse, I keep crashing, then I might have to look into either titanium or maybe even take up sewing.......)

Thanks all! I'll be commuting home today on the new bike and I'm psyched to see what the time difference will be compared to my mtb. Knowing me, it won't be much

Beautiful bike, Squeaky. Congratulations! As I've said before, we all "deserve" whatever we can pay for !

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!
