So, after several months of searching, I finally found my first road bike. It's nothing flashy--a Scattante W-570. It's the first bike I've felt comfortable on right when I got on it. The guy laughed when I told him I have been riding a medium size men's Trek Navigator--I've always known it was too big for me. The 48cm W-570 fit like a glove. Even the saddle wasn't too bad (though I'm sure that will change once I go further on it). I paid for it today and am picking it up next weekend I didn't have time to wait for it today and the Performance Bike is a little over an hour from my house.

Anyway, yay!
