Couple of observations from the ride home from the bike shop:

- Really light bike compared to my other hybrid bikes (Giant Roam and Escape)
- Found myself 'running out of gears' on the flats/downhill. A slightly bigger front chain ring would be ideal IMO
- Brakes are a bit underwhelming (Tektro HD-280)
- Aesthetically, it's a really good looking bike. Good paint scheme and the reflective paint around the logo really makes the bike pop.

I planned to head out for a bit of a ride today, but spent almost the entire day trying to get my department-store bought saddle just right .

Looks like that front is 40 and the back is the 11/42 which gets you at 27mph at 90 RPM. That is flying sitting upright for me. But not bad for a bike under $1k.
