Wow, it sounds like we are about the same size...how did you ever tolerate riding on a medium men's frame?! You poor thing...you deserve this new bike that fits you so well! Can't wait to see pics!

Finally found my road bike. . .
To disable ads, please log-in.
So, after several months of searching, I finally found my first road bike. It's nothing flashy--a Scattante W-570. It's the first bike I've felt comfortable on right when I got on it. The guy laughed when I told him I have been riding a medium size men's Trek Navigator--I've always known it was too big for me. The 48cm W-570 fit like a glove. Even the saddle wasn't too bad (though I'm sure that will change once I go further on it). I paid for it today and am picking it up next weekend
I didn't have time to wait for it today and the Performance Bike is a little over an hour from my house.
Anyway, yay!

Picked it up!
Picked up my bike yesterday. Spent today trying to get over my fear of mounting/dismounting now that I have a saddle that is the correct height (otherwise known as really high!). It came with pedals, but no cleats. So now I need to get some cleats and I think a new pair of cycling shoes is in order. I had SPD pedals on my Trek, so I'm not sure how hard the switch will be to the Look-type pedals.

Very pretty! FWIW, DBF says he didn't have all that much trouble switching from SPDs to his Look pedals.
Enjoy!At least I don't leave slime trails.
