I'm really figuring this out as I go. No I don't think being unique is important, and I don't think I need a custom sort of a deal. I'm pretty average and particularly long/short in either torso or leg.

I'm beginning to learn that cycling is a metaphor for life, where you don't know what you like/don't like until you try it. I see myself more of an endurance rider but still want to be able to go quick.

Wow factor is important, you gotta like the look of your bike! And the Orbea does come in PINK! (so, so shallow of me ..) But that's not as important as performance.
