I drove 6 hours to find a shop that carried 4 brands of steel bikes. Can you believe they only had 3 carbon bikes in the whole store??? I thought I was in heaven!
    What store was that? Would love to know and be able to test some.

    North Central Cyclery in DeKalb. They sell Surly, Salsa, Masi, Trek, Gary Fisher, and Haro. It's a really cool shop. Worth the trip over there.

    Just thought I'd chime in since you say you are going to look at Jamis bikes because I bought a steel frame w/carbon fork and seat post Jamis Quest Femme a couple of months ago and I LOVE the way it rides. It's going to run you a few hundred more than bikes that are aluminum with carbon forks but to me it has been absolutely worth it! It's also a good option if you're shorter and looking for a WSB.

    Thank you! I will definitely look for the Quest Femme. And I'm staying away from aluminum for sure -- that's what I currently have.
