My Pilot 2.1 came in about a week ago and I have gotten to ride a couple of times. I agree about the ride, it is sweet - almost like gliding. I am having a bit of trouble adjusting to the more bent over position on the bike - as compared to my hybrid 7700FX and the "touchy" (for lack of a better word) handling. They say the bike is a good fit but I feel a little stretched out. I have had some pain in my shoulders and upper back. Does anyone have suggestions or is it like they said and I will have to get used to a different riding position. Thanks for the input. By the way, after all the rambling, I would definitely recomment a Pilot.
