Bike Recommendation!
OK, the guy at Fit to Ride, where I was fitted last weekend, got back to me with his recommendation. He's recommending a Lemond Etape WSD, changing out the stem to a 80 cm 10 degree (I have no idea what the bike comes with -- I'm still learning). Switching the crankset to a 105 triple (he believes the reason I have trouble shifting the front up to the big ring is NOT because of the levers, but because the factory bikes in my price range come with crap cranksets), Deda Piega 38cm bars, and a Planet Bike ARS Women's saddle.
OK, Ladies, LET ME HERE YOU!! Especially if you have an Etape, I want to hear from YOU!
(I think '07 might be the first year Lemond is doing the Etape in WSD.)
