(My 7 year old daughter is tougher than any of us) I also do several organized rides through out the year a couple of centuries; some metrics and other assorted rides(Hope to do the century out in Death Valley this year).
Well, in that case, get the Buick, um, I mean, The Motobecane.
It's wayyyy more comfortable than the Trek MadOne.
It's the "prudent" choice.
No Madone for you...
