Raleigh Cadent or Trek Pilot or Bianchi?
Dear all:
I just finished Ragbrai in Iowa, and am looking for a road bike that allows me to sit up a bit more. I have a bridgestone mountain bike that got me most of the way to where i needed to be, but i was thinking of getting one of these two machines.
What are some of the differences between them?
Also, does Bianchi make a road bike with a bit more sit up posture?
Thanks

The Pilot's geometry is geared specifically to be more "comfortable", that being said a good LBS will fit you using your specifics and your goals (comfort, flexibility, fitness, etc.). You can get a good idea of what you probably need at https://www.wrenchscience.com/WS1/Sec...ing/Height.asp I would test ride both bikes and decide based on the test ride. Make sure you post pictures when you make the purchase. Good Luck!
