New ride, new challenges

Thanks! Will do the pilgrimage after checking out a shop that carries Jamis bikes in Glenview.

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.
