Hey man, nice looking bike. Welcome to DTT. I joined a little while ago and there's lots of helpful folks on here and I found it refreshing that there's not much of the "poke fun at the noob for not knowing anything" that you get elsewhere.
Also I wish I was in Santa Cruz, I spent a summer in CA a few years back and drove from San Fran to San Diago in a camper van - man I wished I'd had a bike for that ride...
