Same old question: Road Bike and what to buy?

[Maye]

Have you test-ridden any of these? Careful not to choose or make judgments until you test-ride.

Trust me, I will not select one until I get the "this is the right one" feel. Just initial picks in a vast paradise of choices ;-). The test will start next week and I'll post my thoughts here, to share opinions.

The Felt ZW series is the women specific series they make. The Z series is the men/unisex and the F series is a men/unisex series. There is no women specific version of the F series. Each of the series have aluminum and carbon versions.

Another nice riding bike. Pretty and plush for aluminum.

Windingroad: These two are very nice. The Cannonade Synapse in black looks really cool and the price is very reasonable. Thx

Still in the process of deciding which bike to buy but today I bought my first pair of bike shoes, yay!! The brand is Bontrager Race Road WSD with e-soles, color black with blue details. They fit comfortably and have a high insole since I have a very high arches. Can't wait to test them in my go-old mountain bike then on the road bike that is coming soon.

Ladies,
Thanks for your enormous help. Today I bought my first road bike and is a Trek Lexa SXL 2012 54cm (I'm a tall gal). Yay!! I'll pick it up at the shop next Wednesday which is the same day that I'll do the fitting. I'm sooo happy!!
I rode the Canondale Synapse, another Trek and decided on the Lexa. It's widely recommended here and a good entry level bike for me and my beginner experience with road bikes. I'll post pics once I pick it up.
