Maryellen:

I have had long standing back problems and never got any relief on my bike until I switched to the Trek 5200 WSD. I am short and have a short torso as well so the geometry worked out great for me. As for the Pilot, I think I would have bought it if it were available when I bought my 5200. It fit me like a glove. No tweaking, no measuring etc. etc. Matter of fact I am trying to think up reasons why I need another expensive bike...hard sell
with a kid headed for college and one in private school. I'll just have to tell my hubby that I'll take a Pilot instead of a new car
that I need!!
