Thank you! I appreciate your insight and thoughts on the above. I am focusing on the Amira so that is great input. As for the Orbea, I have had on going issues with it-this is just the worst one! I did a lot of research when I bought it and thought it was the best, it just didn't turn out that way. My husband bought the Specialized S Works Roubaix at the same time and loves it. Next one is going to be a Specialized I believe. Again thank you!
