Hi everyone:
I'm a long-time mtn biker looking to get into the road biking scene. Obviously, I know I need to test ride, but does anyone have advice concerning which bike, the Modena or Pilot, may be more satisfactory? I have come into a possible great deal on a Modena, but I'm concerned that I may not like the positioning considering that I don't plan on racing very frequently. On the other hand, I hesitate getting a bike where I feel like I'm just "touring" the whole time (ie the Pilot). Anyone with experience on both?
Also, the road bike sizing is new to me. I'm 5'9", 160 lbs and was thinking 56 cm is likely the right size. Anyone with similar sizing?
Thanks for the help.
