Congrats! Don't downplay what entry level can do. I put 4,000+ miles on my entry level Fuji. She hung with me on anything I threw at her- multi-day rides, centuries, hills, rain. All of this on the cheapest of components Shimano sells. It is all about maintenance and taking care of your new baby.

Sometimes you get lucky with fit. Both my bikes have fit great and I didn't even bother test riding more than one either time. Have a great time racking up the miles.

Do we get a picture of the new bike??
