Not at all Linda! Reading stories like these really made my feelings more valid.

I've heard a lot of information about Steel and how good they are etc. I've never tried them...I'm not against them at all. A few people that I know has steel bike, and would never buy carbon. I'm not really against any material actually, I just want to be COMFORTABLE! If it's steel, then so be it! :-) Although, if it's seriously heavy, then that would make a difference because it's not flat here, so that'll be a lot of weight for me to carry for climbing.
