Am I crazy?? And Thanks to ...??

[Squeaky]

Okay, I just rediscovered my love for cycling and I've been bike shopping for the last couple of weeks. Well, I test drove a Serotta Fierte and fell in love!! Waaay more than I wanted to spend, but I'm hoping to grow into it.

Was I being too impulsive? Should "newbies" have such a nice bike? I don't regret the purchase, but I'm worried that "real" riders will role their eyes at me.

Also, I had posted a thread a while back (can't find it) for opinions of different bikes, and someone suggested checking out Serotta's... so thanks to whoever that was! I LOVE this bike!
