My main issue is inhaling the cold air, so I try to inhale through my nose. I've been meaning to get a balaclava. Any luck with those?

I'm sure you can make a few adjustments and be just fine. You could possibly even get shorter crank arms. Add a few spacers to raise the stem might help as well. This is exactly why I prefer to buy...

Thank you to everyone for your input! I was able to order a 2013 model Jamis Quest/Satellite through my LBS and that saved me about $70. That includes lifetime maintenance on the bike and a...

What are my chances of Mike giving me a cash discount or knocking off the tax since I'm looking at a 2014 model? :p

My hybrid was a little small for me (just sold it), so I need a bigger frame, and I want drop bars, so I figure a good all around entry level road bike is what I need. Prefer steel for the smoother...

Regarding the 4130 CrMo Double Butted vs the straight gauge steel, not sure if it matters but I'm a light dude, around 140lb. Which one would better suit a lighter rider?

Thanks for the input! I'm gonna ride the Charge today and see if it's too rigid/heavy for my liking, then I'll be able to decide.

Unfortunately my max is about $750 so it's either the Charge Plug with the straight-gauge steel, or the Jamis Quest with the 4130 CrMo. Which would you pick?

Charge Plug 1 and Charge Plug 2 are pretty decent fixed gear bikes. But are you sure you want a fixie? Have you ridden one before? Do you have lots of hills where you live? I'd definitely test ride...

I have eliminated the Giant Defy 5 from my list, so now it's just down to the Charge Plug and the Jamis Quest. I plan on test riding the Charge this week.

Intown is where I'm thinking about purchasing a Jamis Quest Sport. Test rode one there just yesterday. I live in Decatur, but used to live in L5P/Candler Park, so I still frequent those areas as much...

Yes, I just meant more aggressive than my hybrid. Drop bars, less slant on top tube, etc. I'm about 5'8" and trying to stick to a 54 cm frame max as I prefer the seat raised a bit. I'm pretty good...

I believe the carbon fork defy is right around 1k. I test rode that one too. It's hard to really feel the difference on a test ride. I really like the surly cross check and long haul trucker but they...

I definitely plan on riding the charge before I decide. After riding both the Defy and the Quest, I'd say the Quest was the better feeling bike, and it has a triple crank. Took it up a...
