Hi from the DC Metro Area!

[sktaylor10]

I just purchased a brand new 2015 NC700X DCT a little less than a month ago... and I am in love with this bike! As a newer rider, it's so easy to ride... although I'll be the first to admit that I have not yet chosen to brave the absolutely (insanely psychotic) commuter traffic that exists around DC. I'm building up to it. In the meantime, a coworker (also an owner) recommended I join the forum here for more info and tips... Happy to be here!

Welcome! I have the exact same color, model, and year bike as you, and I love it, too. I am originally from Arlington, and my parents still live there. My brother lives in Manassas. By your picture I can tell we like the same colors in riding gear. What brand jacket is that?

CRStep, it's an Icon jacket. I have gorgeous matching turquoise gloves, too. I had a HECK of a time finding coordinating gear that wasn't pink or purple (damn female stereotypes, some of us want to be unique!) but between Icon and Scorpion, I coordinate pretty well...

And thanks for the welcomes, everyone!

I am very grateful that turquoise/teal is now trendy.

Is your bike silver? With a madstad? I might have seen you when visiting my family last month.

Looks like you bought it at a great place. Greg in the service department is awesome and they are very honest mechanics

Red, with a Puig windscreen.

Another local! I knew I'd seen a few 700X riding around.

I really felt great about the sales department, and I plan to return to the service department...glad to know someone else trusts their work.
