Hello!

I have a 7+ years of mountain biking already, and want to start road biking this spring (yeah, it's -4F now here, in my place ).

I already read all these articles about how difficult to fit road bike to a woman and so on and so on, and got too afraid to select it myself Now I just want to get some advises about concrete models for ~$1000-1500, if possible.

And if someone have successful stories about buying bike online without fitting it prior, please share your tips Like which parts of my body to measure and how then put them on frame size. I'm sure that there are some "for dummies" guides about already and you can just give me a link As it's rather difficult to buy a road bike here, and I will need to order it online anyway.

Please help and thank you
