So I picked up my new bike yesterday.

As I stated in another thread, I went with the Louis Garneau Urbania SX1(http://bike.louisgarneau.com/#2302071/EN\). I upgraded the front and rear derailleur from the Shimano Acera set up to the Shimano SLX series. I probably wouldn't have known the difference but from all the discussions I had with the shop I dealt with, that's what we come up with.

I finally got to ride it this morning. I rode 20km round trip to and from the gym and I must say I really like this bike already. Everything working as it should, real smooth and I can make ground. Timed myself 27 minutes to the gym and 31 minutes to get back home. The ride is a pretty easy one, only a couple hills with a few different grade changes. Going to cut down that time I hope.

Looking forward to getting lots of riding in this season.

Nice purchase! When I can finally justify upgrading my 15 year old commuter that is exactly the kind of thing I'll be looking at.

This is my first bike I've ever purchased myself. Last bike I had was something from sportchek or the like, when I was a kid haha.

Enjoyed riding today, looking forward to put many more miles on it this season.
