Hey,

Yesterday I purchased a Giant Escape 3. The initial test ride felt great compared to my old clunky comfort hybrid. I took the new bike out on my usual bike patch which is approx a 14 mile round-trip ride. I have done this ride many times with my old bike and today my whole body hurts. My hips, legs arms and shoulders hurts badly. I am wondering if this is a good fitting bike - the people from the LBS seemed to think it was a good fit reason I went forward with purchase. I am 5 ft tall female on the small frame. Reason i swayed away from the female bikes in this category it had the step through frame and I don't like it and there was one other bike I believe that had the top bar and being it was women specific it was 100$ more than the bike I purchased. Like I said I am in a great deal of pain and I am not a new rider I usually ride 10+miles 4x a week with no kind of pain. I don't know if bikes styles between the two is what is causing the pain - the old bike has upright handlebars opposed to the flat bar of the new one. Maybe I need to just get used to it?? Bring it back in to make sure it is fit properly? Idk
