Your Specialized looks like a pretty damn nice road bike. For a minute here I'll be NickOnABike instead of BadNick. I think they classify mine as a hybrid, not as hardcore of a road bike as yours, mine has the straight handlebars; made by Marin, it's their Fairfax model; I like it, well balanced, responsive.
I remember as a kid riding my 20" Huffy, we had a real steep hill nearby and we'd post a couple guys along the streets leading to it to watch for cars from cross streets, then when the coast was clear we'd pedal our asses off and zoom down the hill as fast as we could. A few of us had speedometers on our bikes and I recall hitting 40mph down that steep hill.
