Mid range road bikes

As N.Y. says, don't lock yourself into what other are doing. Lots of good choices on pedals, these days. Nothing automatic about having to choose clipless.

Ive always enjoyed Mid-Range over Long Range. Just my preference. I might be interested. Would the match displace or be run at the same time as some other silhouette match?

That's a really interesting question. I have not heard of the term mid range over long range. My guess is we're referring to the intended distance of the bike? So in my case my Salsa and Soma are considered long range bikes, built for touring. My Mondonico is built for touring but unloaded touring, and it's the one I've done my longest rides in. So short, mid or long range seems more about the way you use the bike. I could and would like to do longer rides on the Soma and not necessarily loaded at all. It's just a more comfortable bike for me. I could ride to the store or work on the Mondonico but that seems kind of a silly use for it.

Same here.
