This bike is day and night to my other Diamond Back, this is a lean light riding machine all I can say is WOW! I have a new found respect for people who ride these. I can see were if you don't handle your self right on this bike you can wipe out really easily. So no I will not be flying like the wind on this bike for a while. Practice and more practice. I only rode it 3 1/2 miles home, their is no way I'm stuffing this in the back of the car. Uh uh. Nor will I lock this bike anywhere. This is to be use for riding from to a home that's it. The other bike will be use to go place were I can lock it up. For now I'm going to alternate between the bikes, this way I can practice with the gears and get use to how it feels.
New seat so yes my butt was sore, even on a 3 1/2 miles ride. And my hands hurt too be cause holding on to the bike is a lot different. And because the angle of my body is different on the bike, I was using different muscles, heck even my toes were sore?? Maybe I was really tense riding the new bike. And did I mention it's light, Really super light. Yeah I know what I said about stick to the the first Diamond back, but now I have two bikes. :) And I can change my mind can't I. ;) I can tell you this much it was very cold, rainy, but when I was on that bike, I could hear the birds singing and see the sun shinning. This makes me happy.
