All I can say, is ride it, get used to it, enjoy the bike and your fitness. Only after you have really ridden the bike for a good 6 months would you really know what the bike and you are capable of together.

It wasn't a budget bike as I paid about $1350 for it new in 2000 but it also isn't top of the range.

I just got into riding 6 weeks ago. Decades of lethargy means it will take a LONG time to get myself into shape. But it is SLOWLY improving.

My bike has the Shimano Deore drivetrain. Here are the specs on said model:
