Terry bike

[Triskeliongirl]

Hi- I ride two terry bikes. I have a 2005 titanium Isis and a 2001 steel classic, although the classic was recently upgraded to drop bars, and utegra/XT. Isis is my go fast weekend bike while the classic is my commuting/touring bike. For me they fit the best. They both have the small front wheel, which gives me an appropriately short top tube for my height, without any toe clip overlap, and great handling. I test road a lot of bikes, and found that with a larger front wheel the handling was sluggish due to too much fork rake, or the seat tube was too steep for me to get set up properly, or there was toe clip overlap. You can see pix of my bikes on bike journal under team estrogen, triskeliongirl. Gerogena still uses the small front wheel on frames 17.5" and smaller (24" front, 700cc rear for normal gearing). She uses 650c on the 19" but I found it had toe clip overlap. Mine are both 17.5". Both times Georgena talked me through the specifics of the purchase and then shipped the bikes to the bike store of my choice. I absolutely LOVE my bikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -e
