Normal factory setup with speedplay pedals, Terry TiRace Liberator saddle. Summary:
Finally a bike that fits me. I am about 5'4", 135 lbs (did I just give my weight?!?), and in my mid 40's.I was riding about 75-100 miles a week until about a year and a half ago until I got tendonitis in my wrist(not bike but fiddle injury). So I was hesitant to get back on the bike, but all of the riders speeding past me as I went for a run finally convinced me to get back in the saddle.
My old road bike (a Lotus touring bike from 1986), even with the many upgrades I put on over the years started feeling too long and just not right. So I gave serious thought to a WSD. Well, much research and finding a great bike shop led me to the Zurich.
I have only been riding a week, and I am already in love. My legs are happy, my shoulders and arms are not overextended, and the bike is faster than I ever imagined.
I did change the saddle, though, to a Terry Ti Race Liberator (which I have on my Trek 7000 MTB). SPeedplay pedals, Sidi Genius 4 shoes, and I am part of the pack.
What a difference. I love it! Strengths:
Pro 853 Steel frame, carbon fork make for a comfortable zoom. Shimano Ultegra VERY smooth, Bontrager tires nice. Only ridden about a week, though.Sweet paint job. Weaknesses:
LOVE the bike, HATED the saddle.Traded up immediately. Similar Products Used:
OLD Lotus touring bike.
