That's all great information. I've spoken to a few friends with road
bikes. I've also already been to a couple of bike shops and have tried
out several bikes. The best one I've found so far is the Lemond
Sarthe. I'm not all that convinced I can tell that much about comfort
from a short test ride given my inexperience with road bikes. I'm
asking here because I'm looking for more information than what I
already have. I'm not looking to solely base my decision on any one
source.
