SemperFi - I think I will like the bike alot. It fit me so much better than the OCR and seemed to handle so much better. It had a nice natural feel to it and I can't imagine I'll out grow the bike. I'm looking forward to doing a century ride. We have one coming up this fall here in Tulsa.
The pedal sysyem is a new thing for me. I got some shoes and I understand that the cleats for them will come with the bike. I've heard it's a very efficient way to pedal and that I will like it alot.
I have a week untill I get the bike and I'll keep you posted on how it goes for me. I would appreciate any other tips you have for me if you think of any. Thanks again.
