I am now a roadie convert

I took my first ride on my Rocky Mountain Oxygen 30 last night, and let me tell you, this thing is a whole new animal compared to my Trek 830.

I can’t wait to really break in the bike and see what I am capable of.

I do have some soreness in my shoulders today after only a short 10 mile first ride, so I am thinking I need to adjust my handlebars a little more and work on my posture. I do have a 90mm (vs 100mm) stem on the way, which should put me in the perfect position. Of course I was worried I ordered the bike too large, and this soreness isn’t helping. The bike is a 54cm with a 55cm top tube. I am 5’83 with a 30.5” standover without shoes.

I do plan to ride with a group about 40 minutes away in a few weeks, as the leader does bike fittings on the side.

I will try to get a few pictures of the bike up, as it is a real looker.

Thanks for allowing me into the Roadie Group (I hope).
