I guess it's more "upright" than other road bikes - I spoke with one of the sales reps and it's a bike made to satisfy both sexes, so it's sort of a middle ground bike. It's stiff in handling and agressive to ride. I test rode a Specialized Dolce (?) in the same size to make sure that the Blue would work for me... I also couldn't test ride one because no one had the RD-1 in my size. The only real difference I noticed between the Specialized and the Blue was the length of the seatpost to the handlebars. I feel a bit more stretched on the Blue than on the Specialized, but I was almost too cramped on the Specialized anyway. I feel like I'm rambling, but if you want to PM me, I can talk more about it, in a more coherent manner (probably :] )
