weighty and definitely not like the bikes of today, was purchased as a recreational bike, I would like to upgrade. I am only 4'9", so the WSD type bike would be more specific to my needs in terms of the frame. When I looked at the reviews on the Trek 4900 it sounded like it could be a decent choice since I am not needing a race type bike, just something I can use on weekends for the longer rides. I find myself way behind the pack with my heavy version. The bike I located is used as well as the price is right, but only if it would work for my needs, otherwise I will keep looking.
