Dawes road bike

So, I just purchased a brand new 08' Dawes Lightning sport road bike on ebay and I'm super stoked! I also ordered some white handlebar grip tape to replace the stock black. I'm also planning on changing out the black brake levers and black brake wires for some red ones later on this month. I thought this would be the perfect bike to bring with me to Richmond due to its light weight and speed.

For the SPECS: Full Chrome-moly Dura-Forte Frame and fork; with Alex Aluminum rims, Shimano 2200 14-speed der's with stem indexed shifters, high pressure 700c tires, quick release wheels front and rear, aluminum alloy hubs, SHIMANO aluminum crank, Aluminum alloy pedals including toe clips with straps, aluminum stem, aluminum handlebar, aluminum seatpost, ProMax aluminum dual-pivot side-pull brakes and levers, plus a very nice Velo Road bike seat

I do love it! It's been holding up pretty well on the Richmond streets thus far. I need to get a light to put on the front of it because it's mandatory that we have a light on our bike when riding at night.
