If I had used the majority opinion on this Forum, I would have bought a bike with 32 spokes made of steel. I don't want that. It is probably a good selection for many people, but I want a bike very close to what I had.
The Expert is lighter and has good wheels. I would have paid a similar amount for the low end Roubaix and the purchase of Ksyrium Elite wheels.
The issue is more the fit than the bike. I need to get a seat and stem that fits me. There is no sense changing the stem until I get the bar that I ordered. The LBS will swap the stem and wrap the new bars at no charge.
What is wrong with the bike I bought?
Are you so good that you can fit me over the internet?
I also went to 2 different LBS and utilized their expertise. One member suggested a Cervelo. The LBS indicated it was probably too aggressive for me. I rode it anyway and he was correct.
Lighten up Dude, he was joking.
Nice bike by the way.
