I haven't decided whether I want a true road bike, built for speed, or a slightly more upright, more comfortable road bike that will be much faster than my MTB.

I tried the Specialized Sequoia Elite and I liked it. It was comfortable and had some nice features although I'd trade the suspension seat post for a carbon one.

Was also looking online at the Trek Pilot - the 2.1 looks fairly close to the Sequoia, in components and price.

Has anyone tried either?

I know I want a carbon fork and seatpost. I want Shimano 105 or Ultegra derailleur and a triple crank.

I'm not sure I'll be comfortable hunched over a road bike for long periods of time but I also want to be fast. I wish I knew how it would feel after I got used to it....

Any thoughts?

Thanks, as always,
