Got my new bike yesterday and rode it to work this morning. Whee! Definitely needs some tuning (seat height, handlebar placement, dérailleur tension, etc.), but it's quite nice. Integrated shifting alone is huge. I'll get a pic some time and post it, but for now, it's all for me. ;)

What kind of bike is it? How does it ride? Model number/price?
Oh yeah, that's probably good info, huh? It's a Fuji Newest 3.0. MSRP is $629 for the full bike. It seems to ride well from the 20 miles I put on it today, though it definitely needs a bit of tuning (like any new bike, especially for someone with a frame like mine).
never heard of fuji before, never seen one here. price looks really good for a road bike but it seems kind of heavy at 11kg.
are you on motionbased.com?
Paul,
Weight's not a huge issue, first thing I did was put a rack on it so I can hang a saddlebag full of clothes and shoes on it for commuting to work. ;) It's not a race bike by any stretch, neither the frameset or the components.
I'm not on motionbased, I don't have a GPS unit. I'm trying to find something that'll do good 4-space logging, and really struggling at it. And I think I'm going to post right now on the topic and see if anyone can help suggest something. There's at least one or two gadget geeks who read this. ;)
