New Bike

Hi Everybody. Looking to get a new bike for next year. My current bike is 28 years old!! Yes I still ride it regularly. Still want a road bike but maybe a comfort more upright type bike.
Have looked at the Specialized Sequoia. They changed it fot the 2006 year. Looks like the geometry is different. Not sure I understand what they did. Need som help and opinions.
Thanks

Hi. Only ride rail trails. They are paved and flat. See www.miamivalleytrails.org
I usually ride the Little Miami Trail.
Old bike is a 10 speed. So old all the decals are off of it.
Thanks

Specialized makes good bikes & the Sequoia should suit what you do. Ride it and see how you like it. Happy shopping!
