Hello There,
I'm hoping some of you might be able to help me with my dilemma. I recently began doing triathalons and have fallen in love with it! No surprise to many of you I'm sure :) The problem is I bought a bike that doesn't fit me. I wasn't sure I was going to love the sport so price was the motivator in the purchase. I'm now planning to do a 1/2 IM in April and have been told by several that the problem lies in my height. I'm 5'1" and my legs are long and torso short. My current bike is the complete opposite of what I need. I've been told there are a few women specific bikes that will work for my height. Terry, Trek, Felt and Dolce Specialized. Any chance any of you have the same problem and can offer opinions on the various models? I find sitting on the bike in the store isn't the same as riding the bike for 3 hours. Any help is welcome and appreciated!
Thanks.
