She just arrived this morning!  Can't wait to go for a quick spin 'round the neighborhood.

Enjoy! Make sure you get used to the length of the thing and that the brakes are not like on a sporty bike and it should be lots of fun.

A suspension seat post was a first upgrade for mine though!

I put about 10 miles on it today, and a suspension seat post is going to be my first mod.  It's a necessity.

The biggest adjustment for me has been the weight...  It handles entirely differently to my old mountain bike.  the length is also taking some getting used to... I got caught short once or twice making a U-turn today.
