Hi Everyone. I am about to purchase one of these two bikes
and I need some help on a couple of issues that I am
facing. I am looking at a Klein Aura X which to me is
incredible. I love the ride since it has a carbon fork and
carbon wishbone stays. Very smooth however I have found
that the palms of my hands hurt a little bit since I feel
like I am falling into the stem. Could this be a matter of
adjustment?? The bike is very fast and I find it to be a
little twitchy when turning. I must say that I am not an
experienced rider therefore I could be doing something
wrong. My other choice is a Lemond Big Sky SL which is
quite different . I guess they call it a road comfort; more
upright, slightly heavier and it has an adjustable stem. I
feel a touch more comfortable and secure I guess but I
don't want to make the wrong choice. This bike reminds me
of a sport sedan. Comfortable but you can have some fun
when needed. I am planning on riding mostly for pleasure
and fitness and sometimes some longer rides. The folks at
the store where I am shopping is absolutely superb and they
have been very nice and helpful (Paceline bikes in Winston-
Salem, NC Higly recomended..). Any opinions or suggestions
are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to all. Fred
