So I bought the bike, and thanks to all the posts that I read here today about determining proper saddle fit I knew to swap out the saddle right away and I'm MUCH happier with the new one (the shop did an even exchange for me).

New bike! Woo Hoo!!

Sad to say I was a bit winded from the 2 mile ride home from the shop - looks like I've got my work cut out for me, but that's just more reason to get on the bike every day to do a short ride and build up my endurance.
