gulp. i got my new bike

It may be that the bike shop will be able to change a few things to make you feel more comfortable. If you're not used to a road bike, it may just feel that way at first. I know the first time I got on one, I felt like I could just head straight on over the handlebars. . I would have probably gone for the Eros Donna if I had researched well enough to know that there were bikes specifically designed for women. At the time, I did not.

Hope it all works out for you!

thanks Hibiscus!

bikes but i didnt want to spend that much (my bad)

my appointment was cancelled but my new saddle came in the mail today
(black b67)

all by myself (for the first time ever!) I put the saddle on myself and adjusted
it as LOW as it could go. It is clearly too low for my legs; BUT.
BUT.
i rode the bike around and i didn't feel like i was going to topple over the handlebars! There is hope. I can probably get the handlebars raised a bit
and then raise the saddle too.

I sure hope i can schedule my fitting appointment soon.. we have relatives
in , two college graduations and a wedding in the next two weeks.

thanks for your support.
