I would have purchased it anyway. I love the way the bike leaps up hills. Shifting, braking and the overall performance of the component group is fabulous. They are squishy and feel underinflated even though I keep them close to the recommended 100 psi. I will go clipless at my next paycheck.
New tires are also in order.
Though I may get something that is more aggressive in the future I will keep this as my everyday bike. For everyone but the all out racer, this bike is great. The new Sora group is fantastic for the money. Shifting is pecise and trouble free. My bike has a triple chain wheel.
