Nice!
I haven't ridden in years (um, decades to be honest), and after much research bought the Mondial with the Genius Build. I really love the bike. I think the rear shifter need tweaking, but no big deal. I'll take it to my LBS soon. I did get a new saddle specifically for women, though. The Tommaso saddle was seriously uncomfortable after about 8 miles, and after the third ride, I'd had enough.
The other thing I plan on doing over the winter is having inline brakes installed. Perhaps because of my inexperience, I really can't quickly or reliably use/access the brakes with my hands on the hoods. Again, I'm sure it's just me, but I've had one mishap already and don't want another.
Yesterday, I went riding with a friend, and we stopped at a restaurant for lunch. After securing our bikes, I went back out to retrieve my saddle wedge. A couple were admiring my bike, and said how beautiful it is. Yes, it surely is that!
All in all, I love my bike. If you're considering buying it, take the plunge. It's a great bike at a great price, and the staff is very helpful!
