Thanks for the info. I kind of agree about the aero concept. But I love the look and I figure I'll take any additional benefit I can get. I've read only great things about the TCR, so I expect the same from the Propel. The LBS owner has owned both a Propel (SL) and the TCR and believes I will love the Propel. The LBS's in my area don't have any bikes in my size to test ride, but the owner of my shop will let me take the bike out for a good ride when it arrives next week. If I am unhappy, he will work with me on another choice.

Did a lot of riding in the Mt. Dora/Clermont area back in the late 80's and early 90's. Great riding. Have been all through the area many times in recent years on motorcycle trips. Shame it's gotten so developed.

Anxiously awaiting the new ride. Man, it's gonna look like Star Wars next to the Merlin.
