Hi,
Its a very nice bike with triple crank. 105 group is pretty good. Nothing to sneeze and Ultegra short reach is also very nice. You got a good deal. Enjoy your ride. And don't feel less cause bike isn't worht $5,000. Think of the money saved or money wasted by the pretenders.

What's helping me is just ride. I don't have a super expensive bike (under $400), but it gets me places and I can carry it up and down stairs to my building's indoor parking. For me, it's easier to be motivated if I have a place to go, so I go all sorts of useful places, like grocery shopping. The more weekly miles I get in, the better I do

I've been riding a year & a half now. Every once in a while I'll take a route that I haven't ridden in a while, usually because of the 'ugly' hills. It's amazing how often what was once an ugly hill now passes unnoticed.
Of course, I then find another ugly hill.

Hi Bat,
No advice from me, as I am a newbie too, just wanted to say welcome and enjoy your beautiful new bike! I have been riding my new bike since April and it has definitely been life changing. Congrats and good luck!2007 Trek 5000
