I'm not quite sure what my lesson is from this is, but there has got to be one (maybe don't buy a bike because you like how it looks and then convince yourself it fits and is comfy...????) I was so excited about my Orbea, and really, really wanted to love it, but I don't think that it was ever really the right bike for me. It was fin to ride, but basically killed my body (back and neck mainly). I did multiple fittings (not at the place I bought it, they lost interest after they had my $$$), but nothing made it much better. So I rode less and less. Now that the weather is nice, I really want to ride. After yesterday's ride, I was almost in tears. So I took a trip to the bike store today and test rode a bunch of bikes. I started riding with a Specialized Dolce, and was pretty comfortable overall. So not surprisingly the Specialized were still the most comfortable. So I came home with a Specialized Ruby Expert. After a fitting that included lots of adjustments and part changes. 2009 model, so I got a great deal. I am hoping I can actually have fun riding again!!
