Just got my first roadish bike.I picked it up on Thursday and have only put about 20 miles on it so far. Every day I ride I can go a littler further. My ass is killing me, but I got a pair of padded shorts, so its getting better.
I think clipless pedals are coming in short order.
Now I just have to find a cheap rack for my car.
I'll take a better pic later.Comment

^^ looks like a good first bike, clipless pedals are so much nicer than cages, you'll love em.
if the roads you ride on our smooth enough, getting road tires will help alot. losing rotational mass is a huge advantage! i think it requires something like 1.8 times the weight of your rotating mass to overcome it. you'll also gain some on aerodynamics.
two things with the pain in the ass. 1 is if the padded are too thick, you'll move around and the saddle a little more and that'll cause chafing. 2 get your bike fitted to you and it will be more comfortable. sometimes this includes a different saddle that fits your body type.
if you have a odometer, use www.bikejournal.com to keep track of your rides.

Older Rolf Wheels Branded Wheels
In early 1996, Trek Bicycle Corporation licensed Rolf’s Patented Paired Spoke Design™ technology to manufacture and distribute a line of bicycle wheels that were sold under the "Rolf Wheels" brand name. These wheels are easily identified by the name "Rolf Wheels" on the rim decal.
Models include:
Vector Pro
Vector Comp
Sestriere
Vector
Propel
Urraco
Dolomite
Satellite
These models were built by TREK BICYCLE CORPORATION and were discontinued in December, 2001 when Rolf departed Trek to form his own wheel company called ROLF PRIMA, INC. Although TREK and other companies continue to license our Paired Spoke Design™ technology, Rolf Prima Inc. is a separate entity with no affiliation with Trek. Our products can be easily identified by the brand: Rolf Prima. Rolf Prima wheels share no parts with the older, Trek-built wheels and no parts are interchangeable between the two brands. Rolf Prima CANNOT provide parts or service for "Rolf Wheels" branded wheels.
For questions, parts and service on older Rolf Wheels branded wheels, please contact Trek Bicycle Corporation at (800) 879-8735. Trek is obligated to provide warranty support for the duration of your warranty period.

Hey those are nice bikes.I remember i use to ride a bike when i was young.For so many years i haven't rode a bike.Comment

Um, so what about what i said wasnt true? That basically means Trek put pressure on Rolf to crank out mass numbers of wheels. They basically own Rolf now. Thats why the only Rolf wheels you see around are vintage now.
Take a set of vintage pre-Trek ones, and set them next to a Trek licensed set, and see the quality difference.Comment

the rolf prima are built by rolf. any of the rims with rolf prima on them built after 2k1 are made by rolf not trek.
regardless, i love mine.Comment
