I'm by no stretch a bicycle guru and have never owned a road bike. So I have a question for the big dogs of this thread.

This is what I currently own (with 23c tires though):
http://www2.giant-bicycles.com/en-ca...llections_id=4

This what I'm thinking of purchasing:
http://www.jensonusa.com/Road-Bikes/...2-Road-Bike-11

What I'm wondering is how much of a speed increase I'm going to see simply switching bikes. I know the engine (me) is the biggest factor but will I see a 10%? 20% 30% increase in speed?

Any thoughts is greatly appreciated.
