I have SPD's because I had the idea I'd rig my existing MTB with them too.

Funny thing....that MTB doesn't fit me AT ALL, which I realized after riding a fitted bike. And I don't like them, but again, "fun money" is only so much, and priorities have to be set, lol.

If I had it to do again, I'd get the Roubaix with the SRAM groupset on it. I liked that. I was $600 more, and I decided not to spend the money. I wish I had. I liked the SRAM gear.

I've been hit or miss on my cycling, but when I was consistent 2-3 years ago, I was hitting 30-35 miles pretty comfortably, and did 50 a few times. I want to find a good pro fitter and get re-fit. I think I have settled in to my form more and need some tweaks...need to bring the bars back a tad, notably, and could drop them a little more.
