Yet Another Help Me Pick, but With A Twist
As is pointed out here over and over, ride the bikes you're looking at and see how they feel.
I'm in the market for a road bike, last had one 25 years ago. My choices are CAAD9.5 or Trek 2.3. Bike will be used for getting exercise. I'm overweight, 60 and not real flexible. I do plan on trying out both bikes but I can tell since I haven't been on a bike since Jan. 4th (healing from 4 fractured ribs) neither one is going to "feel" good. I'm leaning towards the Trek because with my lack of everything I think a triple would be better than a compact on the CAAD or am I missing something.
I can get either bike for right at the same $, so cost is a wash.
Thanks guys.
