Finally got my new bike!

Well boys and girls, after a fair bit of wait (and nearly ordering a bike 4 sizes too big!) I picked up my new bike from the LBS on Tuesday.
Ended up with a Trek 1.7 compact double with a 54cm frame and it's so far been great, albeit that's with only cycling the couple of miles to work and then back!
The turn of acceleration when you give it some effort is one of the biggest differences I've noticed so far from my old MTB, that and the obvious weight
Hopefully heading out for a big ride at the weekend to stretch it out a bit and see what it can do out of the rush hour traffic.
Cheers to everyone for all their advice while I was trying to work out which bike to get in the beginning!
