Feedback on the 2006 Specialized Sequoia?
After several visits to the local bike shops, and trying out many different bikes (this spanned an entire year), yesterday I finally decided to "decide" on something "right now" and brought home the Specialized Sequoia. This is not the top of the line in the Sequoia group, but it felt comfortable. For the last 17 years I've relied on a Specialized Hardrock (hybrid) to carry me on rides anywhere from 20 to 65 miles, and it was simply "time" to change over to the drop handlebars and a real road bike.
I am 64 (in very good physical condition), and I'll never be Speedy Gonzales. I want to roll along comfortably & safely, and perhaps a bit quicker than the heavy Hardrock allowed. Now I am having a bit of remorse, thinking I should have investigated more bikes...taken more time....bought something more "upgraded"....
I guess what I really want is feedback on this bike - other people's experience with it? (you can be forthright...don't spare my feelings because I've already bought it). Thanks.
