Good luck!
- dunno if you were addressing my observations or not... i'm quite comfortable on the allez... tks for info on 'geometry' vs 'compact geometry' ... my comparison was intended to be that the comfort bike has a place in a workout/training regimen (at least for this OF), as it has a vastly different ride than the allez; different body positioning, different muscle use (especially arms, upper body), and provides a chance to use different riding skills, muscles on a workout/ride - adds variety to a routine!
