Regarding the road vibrations, are you using padded gloves and a good pair of cycling shorts? One word of advice regarding bumps and what not on a road bike. Keep your grip light and some bend in your arms, especially when going over rough pavement. Also, don't overinflate your tires. I typically run mine between 10 and 20 psi less than the specified maximum pressure. You might play around with it a bit to see what feels best for you.

Oh, and you have to give your bike a name!!!!

Yeah...I was wearing my tri shorts, so it will prolly help to get real bike shorts. I have gloves. And I should add our city roads are in pretty crappy condition as roads go...we have been mass whining about it lately so there's construction all over to resurface. Several bad Canuck winters and no repair in the Spring have made them horrible. The 4 blocks that run by my house have just been redone and feel great...I could just do that loop about 70 gabillion times .

Hmm...dunno what to name her. She is very classy looking, so something kind of over-the-top classy.
