I am moving from mountain biking into road biking - and I'm finding that my mountain bike gets mighty heavy after 20 or so miles on the road. A road bike seems to be the answer. I've been looking at the Trek 2100 and 1800C. Has anyone had experience with these bikes?
I am 5'6", 135 lbs. - my LBS suggested I go into a regular frame rather than a WSD model. I am interested in fitness rides (25-50 miles) not racing. I'm in good shape but, at age 50, I am not going to be getting any more flexible. I thought the more upright posture of the 1800C might be an advantage. The guys at the LBS are stressing performance over comfort. Help! Any ideas?
