I am new to biking---I bought a bike 3 months ago just to ride with a friend--had no idea what i was doing--probably still don't. I bought a hybrid--but I already know I want a road bike. I am test riding this week---plan to buy by end of week. I am 5'6'',31'' inseam. I have test ridden a Fuji-Finest, Newest,Absolute, and Roubaix...Love the Roubaix.
I have test driven the Giant OCR -for women--only thing I liked better than the Fuji Roubaix was the seat. I plan to test ride the Specialized Dolce and a Cannondale before I buy. LBS is holding the Fuji Roubaix for me. What do you experienced riders think?
Next---I have already bought and been trying to use clipless peddles (Shimano 540) I am having trouble with getting the right spring setting--they seem hard to get out of for me--I seem to have terrible trouble turning my foot to slip out. Should I switch to the Speedplay Frogs or something else. All these decisions just to ride a bike!!!!!!
I ride with a group of 5 new women riders--we ride between 20 and 30 miles at a time. Plan to ride a 40 mile fundraiser this Sunday.
