Anyone riding a Specialized Vita Sport?

[Groundhog]

I have wanted a Specialized Vita for quite a while...may have to take the plunge!

I have owned a Vita Comp for almost a year and totally love the bike! It is my commuter/cruise-around-town-with-the-bf/road-ride-with-the-sis bike. Hope that you love yours equally as much

This Vita is such a joy. It climbs like it has the wings of an angel, the shifting is so smooth and quiet. I have been riding it around my neighborhood building up my bike legs. Reality is riding a spin bike to videos is not the same as riding real hills <G>. Tonight I took my FCR and Trek each out for a spin. The Vita puts them to shame. My new slogan is going to be "A girl can never have too many bikes". The temps hit 70 in Wisconsin today and I am loving it. I have a kayak hanging in the garage that might just find its way into the river this weekend. Since I do not have a picture of the Vita to post here is a link to one just like mine <g>.

I'm so glad you're loving your Vita! Mine is exactly the same, with silver colour rack and fenders and 35mm CrossRoads tyres. I did have a Charge Ladle saddle on it to begin with, but have swapped that out for a Selle Italia Diva Gel Flow, and the ride is even smoother now. Nearly 4 months now, and I still can't ride to ride her. She goes in for a check-up service next week. I think the Marin is going to be sold - I barely ride that bike now.

Ladies, the Vita and I finally got to make the partial commute. I had to get up at 5 am vs. 6, drove the first 25 miles and then biked the last 11. It was 47 degrees here in WI with a 12 mph north wind....but we were both pumped. The trip took me a full hour and the last hill before my office must have grown overnight. I felt comfortable and safe on the Vita, so it has proven to be the perfect choice for me and my route. I had a number of co-workers ask why my car was at the park...must say I was as proud as a peacock to say I had biked in. A few thought I was nuts, the same ones who can never figure out why I come in early to take a bike ride over lunch. The trip back was quicker, thanks to a tailwind. I can see doing this 3 times a week and found myself rescheduling appointments for next week so that I can. I was surprised at how hungry I was at lunch time and will need to stock my office with some healthy calorie dense food. Other than the the food thing I had manage to have all the grooming and clothing necessities on hand at work.

Well done! That must have felt brilliant

Vitas are game-changers and goal-crunchers, aren't they? I love mine quite insanely and relentlessly.
