I have narrowed my bike search down to a pilot or ocr. I think! I like the paint job on the madone 5.2 wsd don't think the fit is right for me I might still try it. The other day I spent some time at the bike shop. I liked the pilot but I felt like I was reaching too far when my hands were on the hoods the drops weren't bad. The guy swapped stems for me it made such a difference. I know that I am going to need 38cm handlebars instead of the 40cm which it comes with. I learned about the handlebar issue the hard way, pain. Waiting for an ocr in my size to try. Little adjustments make big changes. So when you decide on a bike, the shop should be able to make it perfect for you.

Good luck on the shorts I am still searching. I might try terry this year. Had a pair of hind shorts a couple of years ago. They were comfortable but the fabric didn't seem to hold up well. Have had gel shorts that oozed.Chamios stitching can be brutal. There is always something!
