I have just started the Seven process!!!
I was planning on ordering an Axiom SG, but am now wondering if maybe I should be considering an Elium. I'm 5'2", 115lb, 43 years old and ride about 120-150 miles/week during bike season. I don't race, but enjoy group rides, and want to do more centuries. My avg speed hovers around 16.5/17 and I would really like to see an increase here! I primarily ride for recreation, and to train for mountain bike races. I live in WI, so I have rolling terrain, but frequently travel to western states to ride. I would eventually like to participate in multi-day rides. I am somewhat torn between a compact double and a triple, but am leaning towards the triple. Lastly, I've read articles about shorter cranks.....155cm, 160cm. Have any of you gone there? So many questions, but it's such a large investment so I want to get it right!
Thanks,
Marcia
