Enjoy your new bike. That was 473 well spent dollars.

I did go over everything today with my multi-tool, which was also suggested in an email from BD. Everything was nice and tight, but I did have to adjust the brakes where the pads were an equal distance from the rim on both sides. They had almost a checklist of things to check on, what needed to be installed, etc, which was another resource that came in handy. They are very upfront with everything, which I appreciate.
Did a 7-mile break-in ride today. Need to adjust the tension on the rear derailleur a tad (got a couple of rough shifts), but other than that it rode beautifully. Rode a few small hills in the wind, and it seemed practically effortless. Also rode a little bit of a hard-packed dirt road and handled nicely. The seat didn't bother me at all, but we'll see about that on a longer ride. The biggest adjustment for me will be re-engaging the toe clips after stopping.
