Ooh, so nice! I just got a fast bike, too. Can't wait to ride it...but I'm in MI where a blizzard is on the way, so it may be a while...like months. Enjoy your stunning new ride!

Yay Zoom Zoom! It's exciting isn't it. Sounds silly but it almost feels better than getting a new car or something. I hate that the snow will keep you from riding. It's in the 60's here. Doesn't sound too bad, but the wind is insane. We rode today a little over 50 miles...BUT...the wind was 20-30mph with 35-40mph gusts. It's like that a lot in west Texas. We rode out with the wind nearly at our back so coming back...headwinds almost the whole way back. Not fun at all. I guess I should be thankful we were able to ride though.

Hope the snow doesn't last toooooo long! You've gotta get out there & ride that fast machine!

I'm a newbie at this bike thing, but that wind is no joke. Love seeing the pics of the awesome new bikes!

Hi bonnypriest - your new bike is a beauty - may you have many happy miles.

Re your saddle question - I have a Jett saddle and so far it is the most comfortable one I've tried. I haven't been riding for a while and this week-end backed up two days in a row and this morning when I got on the bike the sit bones let me know that they went used to riding two days in a row. But after a couple of miles it was fine.

I've got a Specialized Amira Expert - women's version of yours I think. I didn't like the saddle that came with it ( a ruby) and since I've swapped it for the Jett life on the bike has been much happier.

So I'm hopeful for you that you'll like the Jett once you've put in a few miles on it.

Thanks for the info macski! I rode again today for about 20 miles. Kinda sore for sure, but felt better after a mile or so. Hopefully I'll get used to it. If not, I'm going to have to double check the size of the saddle or something. The bike shop said that was the right size, but I'm not so sure.

Ooh, your winds sound awful. When we get cross-winds like that I stay home. Because of where we live it's hard to go East and we can't go west without hitting Lake MI. When we have strong winds from either direction I tend to bail. It's just too difficult to stay upright when it gusts. Stay safe with your new beauty.

Yep, I hope I can get out soon, too...but it's not looking likely for a while. Even if the snow all melts and leaves clear pavement it will be covered in salt and sand. I don't know that I want to get that all over my bike if it's avoidable.

bonnypriest - have your sit bones measured by the LBS? I tried riding on a 143 and it killed me because I need a 155 (actually I'm in between the two so the larger is more comfortable).
