Picked up my bike mid-week and rode it home from the shop - about 8-10 miles. It was raining lightly and I had a full day so that was all I got to ride.

But I could feel the difference before I left the shops driveway. It was not like some minor improvement - it was like a different bike. Once at some speed - I never got past about 50MPH - the difference was significant. I've heard the term 'the bike was on rails' but never experienced it before.

This sunday I am taking a longer ride with a group of friends. I can't wait to get some speed and distance on my new ride. It's like I got a new high performance road bike!
