Thanks for all the replies. I've looked at the pre-loved BF's and most are too small for me.

Plus, the option of having a bike custom built to MY measurements is quite inviting. And they do give you 30 days to test ride it. If you don't like it, send it back. Can't beat that.

I did find on their site they optimal weight for a bike is 12% of your body weight. Yikes. For me, that's a 17.5lb bike. HA! Gonna pay a fortune for that.

There is a Tikit here at one of the bike shops that I might look at today. They are listed as one of the BF dealers so I'm glad I have that resource here on the island.

I'll let you know what we find....I'm leaning towards the drops set level with the saddle as I do love the ability to shift hand positions.

Thanks again all!
