Thanks to all of you who helped me make up my mind about this. It even came with a Bontrager Node 1.1. I still have to learn how to use it. The saddle is a San Marco Rolls and it's much more comfortable and classier than I thought.

Anyway, here are some new pics of the bike after my ride yesterday:

Late to the party here, glad you listened, this was never going to be a bad decision as you found out.

Oh, and next time the pic is head to head, make sure yours is driveside.
