Ms. Silque has arrived

Pretty much, except that the stem/bars are more specific to me. And, of course, the components are 1-2 steps up and it has the inserts. But the geometry feel is the same. I think the wheel base might even be a bit longer. This bike does not feel sluggish at all to me. I pushed it on a small hill near our lunch stop, where, on a good day I am going 11-12. Today I was going 14. So, I can accelerate if need be. But, don't worry, because basically, I am a lazy rider, unless someone gets me mad!
*I* did not play around with the fit; I had an extensive 2+ hour fitting on the Guru fit machine, plus another 1/2 hour of anatomical measurements before ordering. The bike is a Project One Trek, which means you can customize certain things. And even yesterday, when I went back for the last extra fit for the bars and saddle on the actual bike, I had 3 guys (2 fitters and a sales rep) plus my DH watching me on the trainer and making minute adjustments. I laughed and told them that this is the way it should be, 4 men standing around just asking me what I want...
Seriously, this time, I knew exactly what I wanted and needed. But, I don't have the time, mechanical skill, or patience to do this myself. After I did the initial research and found a newer Trek model with the same geometry that the bike Irented had, it was in the fitter's hands. And both of them listened. Maybe because now I have the knowledge I didn't have 10 years ago, but I was treated perfectly.
