Now I just need to install my computer / sensors.

It is my first real roadbike, my first bike with shifters integrated with the brakes, my first pedals with a clipping mechanism, my first carbon fiber bike, and a whole lot of other firsts! The bike I have been riding up until now has been a Nishiki/CyclePro steel frame bike circa 1983, and man what a difference! Today I took the new bike out for the first time and it is just so fast, so stiff and so lightweight. I felt like I could just go for miles and miles on it except that my core strength isn’t where it needs to be for the new position.
