Hello everyone,
I'm new to group cycling and have been riding a hybrid. I want to get more into the long distance group rides. I live in texas and rode in the MS-150 from Houston to Austin a couple of weeks ago on my Hybrid and relized I did alot more work than all the people on the true road bikes. I also relized my bike didn't fit me as well as I thought it did. I have been on the research every since please help if you can.
I have narrowed my new bike down to a bianchi donna eros wsd, (women specific design) or a cannondale r500 wsd, or maybe a giant ocr 1 not wsd. I'm really leaning toward the bianchi just because I like the way it feels but don't know much about the Campagnolo components. Everyone else has shimano including the bike I'm on now. If any of you have any info or ride one of these bikes I would appreciate any help.
I'm a pretty small 5'2" and my handlebars on my hybrid are to far away is why I started looking at wsd.
Please help me I want to buy a bike that will last a long time.
