Thanks for the tips. I test rode the Safire and felt like I was squished on it! So my LBS is ordering the HiFi. We have been going there for several years so they are not making me put down a deposit and said I have a 1 week guarantee and yes, I can take it and get it dirty. The geometry is way different than the Specialized but since I didn't like the Specialized maybe a do need a longer reach? We will see Friday when it should be built up.
