My husband is also having issues attempting to adjust to a road bike. He's always had mountain bikes and loves them. He just can't fully get comfortable on the road bike. He's had his for about 3 months. I got my first road bike at the beginning of July. I must be odd, because within minutes of getting on the road bike for the first time I loved it. To me it just felt right and very comfortable. On the other hand I do not like mountain bikes. We've been working on adjusting my mountain bike to have a more aggressive "road bike" type position to get me more comfortable on it.
