Hi EasterBird, Don't feel bad about the Giant Sedona! That's the same bike I was riding and loving a year ago. I loved riding that bike. It is such a comfortable ride. I put many miles on it and rode my first organized ride on it as well. I bought a road bike last May but still have the Sedona. I commute to work, weather permiting, and the roads are very messy right now so I use the Sedona as my winter commute bike. You're out there putting some serious miles on that bike! That all that matters! Keep up the good riding and hope your knee feels better soon. BikerHen
