Road Bike Regrets?

hmm better picture of the bike itself. I don't care to spend the extra $$ for the top of the line so I settle for Ultegra, I don't think there is much lost if any by going with Ultegra over DA. It had 39/53 chain ring with 170mm crank threw in a second set of cluster, 13/28. Normal setup is with 12/21. speed play pedal. Sella Flight saddle. I wish I could have another one like this. I'm still partial to Ti frame.

Wow, that's a pretty bike, but I don't think I've ever seen a woman who rides with her bars so far below the saddle! Just an interesting look to me as most women's bikes I see (including mine) have the saddle about level with the bars, but none of us are racers, just recreational riders.

Hope you can get back to riding....be patient with yourself.

I bought a Trek hybrid this spring. I didn't want to spend lots of $$$ because I hadn't owned a bike in years. I want some sort of road - I think a flat bar and a mountain bike for fun this winter. I ride some roads, bike path and 2 track trails. My rides won't be more than 25 miles. I think it depends on what fits the places you ride. I don't regret my hybrid purchase - got me back into cycling.
