I thought it said it was ideal for chatty rides. I was thinking that might be the perfect bike for me. Very Happy

Looks good, though.

Just wondering, how do those Sora 8-speed shifters work? Have taken it out on a test ride?

Nice color choice btw. Congrats.

With Sora STI levers, your brake arm is also the shifter lever to move into high gears. To move to a lower gear, there's a little thumb switch on the side of the lever, kinda like were the rubber bumps are for Flightdeck controls.

Glad PH answered that I have no idea. It's my first road bike. I have not ridden it cuz they didn't have my size and had to order it. The bike shop owner said if it didn't fit or I didn't like it he wouldn't let me leave with it.

I think you should get a little white basket with decorative flowers on it for the front of the bike. That would be SOOOO you! Very Happy

Would you ski without clipping into your skis?

Clipless for the win!
