    All the bikes look nice, but I like the look of the Cannondale.
    I tease my DH about his Roubaix. He had an early Roubaix and it was stealthy and sleek looking. A few years later it developed a crack in the carbon and he ended up with a new Roubaix under warranty. He still loves it, but he admits that it's kinda funny lookin' with all the swoops and curves. My SuperSix has more traditional and simple lines.

    A program that would overlay bikes would be awesome. Some running store websites do something like this with shoes--seems to me that something like that would be perfect for bikes and saddles and cycling shoes.

    Like Eden, I am very short (5' 1"), with short arms and torso; my main bike is a men's Kuota Kebel in an x small (48 cm), with Specialized short/shallow bars and Ultegra short reach levers, 165mm cranks. It feels quite comfortable compared to other bikes I have been on. I also still need a teeny stem. So, while it's a little twitchy, I feel really comfortable on it. I have a new custom Guru road bike, which has a more relaxed geometry... no more teeny stem, but I feel way too upright. In fact, I am going to move the position of my bars, so I can be in a more "aggressive" position.
    I'm not an "aggressive" rider, but this is what I am used to and what my body likes.
