Luna,
I appreciated all your advice on this. I knew that a lot of what I was going to get in the way of suggestions was going to be along the lines of the stuff you talked about. But it helps so much. I have read and reread all the posts, took out my bike and tried really hard to picture what you all were talking about. It helped a lot. I'm not an aggressive rider. I don't really like being in the drops...probably because I can't reach them comfortably. But I don't know what kind of rider I'll be until I get more comfortable and that really really helped that I could get all of your and other people's advice. I would say I'm a cross between a leisure/commuter/long-distance/stress relief/ because I love it rider. Not really sure there's a cookie cutter bike set up for that category...but I know from all of you that the bike needs to fit and feel good. The rest is up to me. And That's the part I really love about riding. So thank you and the rest of you for all your advice.
Have a great day!
Gray
