I just wanted to add, that after trying a number of different racing bikes, I did end up with the Fuji Finest women's specific bike. I also test drove a KHS bike with almost identical specs and similar frame size and found that the stem length of the frame was much longer than in the Fuji bike. Since I am short and short-waisted, I went for the more comfortable frame. Don't know if this will help anyone making a similar buying decision, but I thought I'd pass it along.
Now, how long does it take to adjust from the relatively upright body positioning of a hybrid bike to the more curved one of a racing one? I feel like a bow after my maiden voyage. Any advice on stretches, etc., to make the transition easier would be appreciated.
More sore than I expected to be. . .
