This bike makes me feel fast and it is allot of fun for blasting along the flats.

I love what you did with this bike. It's definitely making my Monday feel less Monday-ish. You did it more justice than I would have! And gotta love those bikes that feel fast! My Sirrus felt fast but more "planted to the earth" fast instead of "playful, lively fast." Maybe yours is more the latter with those box section rims.
