Or maybe it was the big fat LOOK AT ME! smile plastered all over my face
You'll get used to the differences, and once you realize those skinny tires won't explode over very bump, and that you can actually stop your bike with those brakes, and that you can get leverage to climb...well, just WAIT to see how fast you will be!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your joy! It is just really fun to read.

aaah - haven't really had a chance to try her out properly yet. I just started work, so I'm still adjusting to my regular commuting schedule plus getting up early after five long weeks of slacking off... I feel a bit too wobbly to want to commute on the Schwinn yet.
Spent several happy hours yesterday tweaking the fit, and I have a spare stem to switch to if I need it. I'm thinking I have to sneak up early one morning this weekend and go out for a long ride on my own someplace where the roads are straight and there's little traffic. Looking forward to that
