Very nice! I'm excited for you! I just got a new bike too - I still have under a hundred miles on it and I'm still getting used to it. I think there comes a point where you really just *know* your bike and you work beautifully together.

Mark up another for the Power Grip camp! I had 'em on my mountain bike ten years ago and loved them, so they were the first addition I made to my Bianchi. One catch this time around - one of the allen screws holding the adjustable end of the strap snapped when I went to adjust it on my second ride. I e-mailed the company and they're sending new hardware, no questions asked. Makes me feel even better about 'em!
