After a broken back and hip the zertz make a difference.
Kermit, thanks for enabling me. I'm trying to come to terms with the price and if the $900 would really get me THAT much more than the Comp. The Comp also sounds like an excellent bike. I'm afraid if I ride the Expert there will be no turning back. If I can be completely satisfied that the difference in price is really worth it, I'll probably go for it. I could join a vanpool at work and save $1200 a year and cut back in other areas.

So, you think the Zertz inserts really do make a difference? I have nothing to compare this with being that I ride a Hybrid now, and haven't owned a road bike for 20+ years.
