hi
Hi- I'm on the Oregon coast and got back into riding a year and a half ago. I'm 64 and lost 60 lbs.in 6 months. I rode daily last year but since reaching my goal am not as manic about it.
My bike is a women's Trek 3700. In the spring of 2021 I had it converted to a 9 speed. I just bought a Giant Sedona DX off craigslist to have a little more upright ride.. a way to try out the hybrid style
adjustable stem. I'll probably have that installed on the Trek. My Trek is a 13" (I'm 5'2") and it was just a hair small for me as I always had to have the seat post up beyond the max level to get the right leg angle.
The Sedona is a 14" but I still have to have the saddle all the way forward on it's rails, even with the handlebars adjusted back. I'd post pics of the bikes but apparently I need 9 more posts first...
