I'm wondering if all the major road bike manufacturers have relaxed geometry CF road bikes...?

If so, what are the the bikes called? eg: Trek, Scott etc. Thanks!

I would think you'd be more likely to find a variety of relaxed geometry bikes among the steel touring bikes.

Is there a particular reason you want relaxed geometry "crabon fribe?"

Because you cannot load an epoxy frame they tend to be geared toward more aggressive (unloaded) racing geometry.

Think dainty high-strung Arabian mares vs. easy-going can-do Morgans.

I'm pretty sure the Specialized Roubaix/Ruby in the CF format are "relaxed" geometry...was wondering if other manufacturers do the same...?

To add on to what Muireen posted....Jamis Xenith Endura/Xenith Endura Femme, Cervelo RS, Bianchi Infinito/Infinito Athena, Scott CR1/Contessa CR1, Felt Z/ZW, Giant Defy/Avail Advanced. That's all I can come up with at the moment.

Hmmm...that Serenity Bliss looks enticing...but no pricing for it on their website. :(

I can't imagine a more relaxed geometry bike than this carbon frame bike designed by friends of mine who are local double century and more riders:

This bike is specifically designed for long distances. Huge drool factor. Note: all my bikes are metal; I never ever wanted a plastic bike. Ever. Til now. :rolleyes:

Cough. High end. :)

I saw one at Pedal Chick in Greenville. Don't know how much it was, but not cheap. They actually make tall, compact sizes. Worth considering for the future!

Edit: Serenity Bliss Prices (http://www.serenitybikes.com/prices)

Not sure if that is for the frameset, or entire bike. But this (http://www.serenitybikes.com/buy) page makes it look like just the frameset :eek:

I was under the impression that those prices were for the Marvel series...and not the Bliss series. I could be wrong, though.
