Need some help with those of you that have or are familiar with the Foil.
I am a 51 year old rider relatively new to road cycling. Bought an entry level relaxed geometry bike this summer and really enjoy the sport.
Plan to buy something a bit better in terms of frame and components this spring and leaning toward a Cannondale Synapse. THat is until I came across what I consider to be a nice deal on a Foil 40. My concern with the Foil is riding position for someone my age and whether I will be able to get comfortalbe on a more race oriented bike like this. I rode it for about 5 miles and it seems to ride far better than my aluminum bike but the bars are definately lower than mine. Is this whole geometry thing a way to get old guys to buy a different bike and can we do just about as well with a great ride like the Foil? I ride recreationally 20 - 40 miles and have no intention of racing. Do want to improve my stringth and speed to do more group rides.
Thank You
