I just got a Specialized Amira Expert 2010 yesterday. It is a thing of beauty!!!! As a relatively new rider I thought that it was probably too much bike for me. But I was in the market for a new bike, and as I was able to pick it up used, it was in my price range. It feels very zippy and light. I have been riding a steel framed touring bike for the last 7 years. So, this is clearly a very different feel. I was worried about not have low enough gears, but I have been using my husband's road bike for the last few weeks, with the same gearing and it has been fine. I can't wait to test it out. They're predicting winds up to 70 mph today, so I might wait until tomorrow,
