I got it!!! I am now a proud owner of a Trek 1.2 WSD (43cm) with 650 wheels. I've been sick but I HAD to take it for a short ride when I picked it up. The difference between a mountain bike and a road bike is AMAZING.

I averaged about 19.5 mph and went only 6 miles because I was really sick.

I didn't realize that you couldn't put both feet into the straps at the same time until I was ready to set off. I was concerned with the scraping when I didn't get my foot in on time, but I got used to it a few stops later.

I also purchased a Trek tire change kit which is strapped on to my bike with a spare 650 tube.

It is very light and a tiny bike, but the fit is great (I think, better than my mtn bike, for sure!). It makes such a huge difference to have a tiny bike (b/c I'm very short).

My hands (between my thumb and index finger) were feeling some pressure in the standard position, but my LBS told me to learn how to gear change and control the bike before I move to a more comfortable position for me.

Thanks for all your help!!!!!
