Thanks everyone for the help - at 1350 it was an absolute steal. I picked it up this afternoon but haven't had the chance to really give it a thorough ride, but Boy! does it fly. I had a huge grin plastered on my face for the entire journey home with it.
As for not using the hybrid to do a longer ride, I'm not entirely sure, I just thought a road bike such as this might make it an easier journey and I feel as though it's going to make a marked improvement in my speed and pace. The hybrid was permanently in the top gear, even on slopes and hills I found shifting down an unrewarding experience. This road bike however takes a huge sting out of the regular hills I travel on. And I'm not just glued to the top gear either.
