New ride, new challenges

Thanks, Muirenn! My steel frame weighed under 17 pounds before the pedals. That was the same as my carbon bike. You are right about not finding any in a LBS. I drove 6 hours to find a shop that carried 4 brands of steel bikes. Can you believe they only had 3 carbon bikes in the whole store??? I thought I was in heaven!

What store was that? Would love to know and be able to test some.
