Yeah, the saddle looks... interesting.
I used to have a hybrid (still do actually - it's in the bike shed here, chained to the racer). It did me proud for a couple of years - I must have ridden a few thousand miles on it since January 2009 - but it was going to cost ~£200 to upgrade to something that still wouldn't really be what I wanted, so I decided just to go for it.

I took the racer out earlier to test the speed. All was going well until I ramped it off a speedbump I didn't see until faaaar too late. I'm going out again in 30 mins or so with my GPS to see if I can get it over 30mph :D

I've only ever had a mountain bike before
I was startled by how much quicker this is despite the fairly wide profile tyres, and I've not even had it on a decent straight in top gear yet.
The saddle will take some getting used to though *winces*

Yes, it's a big jump
You'll probably notice it most when you're going uphill.

What, you mean like the fact that I can actually cycle up hills now?
for the best really given that my new commute involves a fuck off big one.
