I guess thats part of my issue, they really aren't committing either way. My local shops, only two, don't get bikes in this price range except on order. The other local shop isnt even ordering in carbon framed bikes this year at all, they have Speciaized, Cannondale and Giant. They also don't do test rides or even have the two sizes in the aluminum frame for me to throw a leg over. I'm probably going to have to go outside the area for better info. Thanks for asking.

Not all that concerned with faster anymore, just happy to be out biking again. Thank you.
