One of my lbs had a sale, so I've picked up my first road bike, a Cannondale Synapse Carbon 5. Never mind the pedals, I have a pair of Shimano 105 pedals coming. I've also ordered a Cateye wireless computer, cages, a stand and other miscellaneous stuff that should be here in two or three days. So far, I absolutely love the bike. I've dealt with back issues for years from crashing and banging around on motorcycles and from snowboarding. The geometry mixed with the carbon makes for a nice, plush ride. Now I just have to get off of the couch and put some miles behind me 😀.
