>>1667408Thanks for the information, useful. Also nice picture. I think I'll just try to ask at the Cube/Stevens shop what bikes they carry and then decide.
And at the bigger bike shop in my area that carries "everything", I might ask them about the cannondale CAAD optimo 3, which is cheaper than the optimo 2; and maybe about the Giant Contend 1. They look very appealing in terms of price. I guess my only worry is that I live in the foothills and am used to my MTB gearing for the climbs, but I'll just ask around.

I should probably go to a bike shop and ask them for a fit, even if it may be a bit costly. My current bike frame is too small, and I started feeling my lower back on rides.
