My DH and I both bought Pilot 2.1's last month. I got the WSD, and I'm glad I did. This was my first road bike and I'm in love with it.

Our bike store was great about sizing and fitting the bikes for us. But, we travel over 40 miles to get to our favorite bike store (The Trek Store in St. Louis), there are 6 LBS's that are closer in distance, but they don't compare to the service that this one gives.

You are talking about spending alot of money, it may be worth your while to travel further and find a store with a large inventory of bikes so that you can try many different sizes and styles.
