I have this bike, and I don't know what to do with it. It's like new. I
bought it at the end of last summer. It's the first new bike I bought
since taking up cycling again. It's also help me lose almost 20 pounds /
lbs. It's also the first bike I ever rode a century on. It's also the
first bike I ever did any touring on. So it has some sentimental value.
But on the other hand, I just rode it a couple of time this week, for
rides more than my commute. I have it configured something flat bar road
bike with the bars at about the same height as the saddle. And since I
have been riding the 'bent more I forgot how /fun/ a df can be. But I
think I might like a true road bike. Probably something in a relaxed
geometry bike. Not a super high dollar bike just a budget bike that I
can use as my commuter and for some faster rides when I don't want to
ride the recumbent.
So I usually get pretty good advice from the regulars here.
Thanks
Ken
