Thanks, Emily! The stretched-out part is what I am most worried about. The price for the bike is $1200 and it evidently was never ridden much. I haven't ridden it yet. My LBS is trying to get me on a Cannondale 44 cm frame and swear it fits me. I feel a little cramped up but the stretched out feeling isn't there. I've never ridden 650 wheels and have read the pros and cons. Thanks for your input!
