Been checking out all your suggestions, which are very much appreciated. Always good to hear from experienced riders with first hand knowledge. As you guys already know, bikes are very personal and like with women, we all want different things but above all we want performance
. Bike buying can be like buying new car. Lots of makes, models, ratings, but need to drive them to see what fits and gives ya what you need. Hesitant about buying over the interwebs without first taking them out for a day and running my course. This COVID deal makes it more challenging having to reserve times to see shops, since walk-in is not available in Washington St.
Really like the suggestions, and the non-suggestions (Pinarello, Cervello, Merx, etc) are equally telling. Thanks guys and ride on.
