I like my badges of noobitude. If someone fast passes me, well, it's because I'm a rank beginner. And on the rare occasion when I pass someone, it's all the more sweet because I'm a rank beginner.
Your new bike is a BEAUTY! I hope you enjoy many miles of happiness together.

GORGEOUS! (Close my eyes--I will not buy a new bike this year, I will not buy a new bike this year!)
We want more pics!
Noobitude is good! My DH just ordered some upgrades for my bike, and I'm worried that people will start to take me seriously and think I know what I'm doing!
TXDoc: Have you met my husband? I was teased for carrying sunblock in my handlebar bag (I know, Gasp!) this weekend because it was extra weight. "Do you want some or NOT?" Of course, later in the day he wanted a clif bar and jelly beans and he had to come to me to get it--I'm the pack horse, that's why I'm so slow

Very pretty bike!! Enjoy her!
As for the reflectors - my VP of Support can go out and ride 100 miles without thinking about it. He and his wife are on a tandem tour of the Civil War battlefields in PA/VA and MD and are averaging 70+ miles a day - and having the time of their lives. He can also kick most people's butts on a climb. He says the more reflectors and lights and visibility the better. As he's the real deal, I'll take his word. :PChristine

I personally don't care about the reflectors. The boyfriend's a "Must.cut.all.unnecessary.weight" type. I just roll my eyes and tell him that if he wants to take them off, he can when he gets around to it; he never will.
