OK, well this bike has a compact double... no one has told me they won't work with a compact. We had no response to our emails, from early AM, which is a bit unusual. DH is on the phone now.
I know that that R700s will be fine... I am just pissed that nothing for small/short people gets upgraded or redesigned like everything else. In fact, I just read something that stated Shimano actually increased the size of some of their shifters. With all of the small women who are on TE, it seems like just this group is enough to show the need is there!
You know, I am not sure what the silver sleeves are, as I have not actually seen the frame (little thing called work). But, I am guessing it has something to do with the s and s couplers.
I did find some innersoles that are specially made for people like me who can't tolerate the thicker ones. Actually, I feel fine riding without any in the shoes, but eventually I will get them.
However, I am surprised at how quickly the frame got built. That's a good sign. It's the components that are causing an issue. At least it appears that i will get to ride this bike before the snow flies.
I know someone from the shop is trolling the internet, looking for comments about them, so I hope they read this.
