Hey, that statement goes both ways, after riding a road bike for almost 40 years I'm looking for more comfort now. Inline brake levers helped me raise up my position and still allowed me to go low when I wanted to, but my Roam covers more riding possibilities. It seemed perfect until my butt couldn't adjust to the seat on the bumps, so I got a slighlty cushy one. Then the grips seemed lacking for alternate positions so the Ergons solved that one. We'll see what happens when the tires wear out.
