flat bar bike and road bike
i am looking at a fuji shiloette and a ibex corrida flat bar bike.
they are both 27 speeds and have 700c x 26 tires. even v-brakes, are they really road bikes or just a mtn bike with road bike drive train and no suspension system i have a hardtail mtn bike now, was interested in road riding, but i don't know if i can handle the position thanks |

I love it. Super light, nice ride, but more upright than typical road bars...much easier on the back...much slower on the downhills though...I always feel like I want to bend forward to reduce the wind. Brian |

flat bar bike and road bike
Hi Brian. This may sound corny but it works great for me. I put aero
bars on my mtb I use for road riding. They're great for relaxed riding, riding into the wind or downhill. The difference is phenomenal. I've seen a few other riders do the same thing. Hope this helps. Peter. "Z" wrote in message ...
