Bikes: Trek 4300 X 2. Trek 1000, Trek 6000

You guys might be partially correct. I have ridden a lot of miles on my Mountain Bikes. So i was sort of thinking the same thing as you when i started this other thread.

Maybe i don't know how it is supposed to feel? Again i have ridden over 9000 miles on my Mountain Bikes since Sept. 03. I ride around 150 miles per week and they are more comfortable to me than my own skin. Can anyone help me determine how the road bike should feel in my hands and in my arms?

Lastly, the LBS people yesterday were seconding the notion that the 62 was too stretched out for me. He was saying that i have the longer legs and shorter torso and would be a candidate for a custom built frame. I'm thinking i need to find a compromise between a bit smaller frame and also a better understanding of how a road bike should feel.
