Sorry about the criptic subject line, but I didn't have the balls to post another "which bike should I buy" thread. Anyway, you guys and gals who have experience with multiple brands and models here goes.
All togther now ... Fit is the most important thing! There I said it. But that being said, I'm sure that after I get FISTed, the answer will not be as clear-cut as "you need bike X." I will still have a choice to make between a few models, so I want to collect some opinions. I like the looks of the P2SL, Felt S22 and QR kilo or tequilo. In all of these, I like the features, I like the spec and I like the price. Any others that I've missed in the same category, I'm all ears. Assuming my fit gives me a choice between any of these, I'm going for comfort. I weigh 170, I'm fairly fit, fairly limber. But a man needs to know his limitations. I'm not getting any younger and I'm kind of a wus. Those of you who have experience with these frames, let's hear it. I'm not a big power guy. I just get 'er up to a good cadence and keep it going. Compliance is the name of the game here.
Oh yea, and I've already heard the one about wheel/tire selection being more important to comfort. I agree. But I'm not shopping for wheels and tires, I'm shopping for a bike right now.
Thanks for your help with my version of the ST question that won't go away.
