The Rans LE is a great bike. Only reason I sold mine was needed the space for my new trike and wife was not willing to give up more space in the garage. Very comfortable and fast. The higher bottom bracket does give a bit more aero position and I preferred it over the Stratus I had. Just as you adapt to it start laying the seat back for more comfort and speed. Only draw back I ever had with it was low speed and control on hills. You won't be sorry you bought it. I just prefer my trikes now. Once you go to trikes though you won't ride two wheels again
