Got my new bike today!!!!!!!
I got a Giant Rapid 2. This is a decent entry level bike. It's much lighter than the MTB I had before. It's also alot faster. I am a noob but managed 15 mph easy and hit 21mph a few times. I weigh 210 so I slow the bike down a lot. I'm sure after losing a few pounds I can get it to go quicker. The bike is very comfy and the seat only slightly rapes you. I'll be swapping pedals in a few weaks and getting ergo grips and shoes. When I asked the guy to put on a kick stand he pulled me to the side and told me I was nuts! So he gave me a quick lesson on how to lean the bike and save me from ridicule. I just rode it 5 miles and did in 1/3 rd the time it used to on my MTB. WIN!!!
