Went looking for a new bike

[Kubla]

Thanks everyone. Not sure about the Secteur. The Allez I think is the male version of the Dolce??? As far as a triple, the bike I have now has a triple - Giant OCR3-W. I wanted to step up in bikes, but sounds like these bikes I'm looking at are 'entry-level' bikes as well? Dont know what it is about my Giant but I just don't like it, I think its the fit - its a small. I'm 5'6" with 29" inseam. I'll check the bikes out tomorrow. Thanks again, I appreciate your input.

Nancy, I'm your height-with the same proportions. My WSD Dolce Elite is a 54 cm, but my "men's" Jamis Aurora is a 50. Both are very comfortable. Just keep trying bikes until one feels as though it was just waiting for you. You might do better with a men's model, but I've been happy with the Dolce-even though with my backward proportions-it "shouldn't" fit.
