Wow, I had no idea I had to make so many decisions. A bike that fits me is what I see in my head. My Serotta is steel and I like the feel of it. I test rode a few carbon bikes but they didn't excite me, other than climbing was much easier than with my Serotta. The ride was squishy, for lack of a better word. I weigh 95 pounds so I may not notice as much benefit out of certain materials as someone who weighs much more than I do. How do I go about making the decisions you mentioned?

I need a frame builder who will also fit me. I am not an easy fit so I need a really good fit/builder. I fly free with Southwest so if Southwest travels near the builder, it would make it much easier.

Thank you for your help!!
