Wow, lots of good information. Thanks all. I think I may just need to relearn proper shifting technique. As I may have mentioned when I first posted here, I took up road cycling in late 2008 and did it for 3-4 years, but been away from it for a while. For instance, remembering to downshift...

That made me laugh. Hey, if it's that good, the extra money should be worth it.

XL. Felt pretty good.

Thanks all. May see if they have a Creo with the electronic shifting to at least try out.

Greetings all. My LBS let me take the Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO for the day yesterday. Did a 33-mile test ride. Mind you, I'm a heavy guy getting back into road biking after several years away from it. First 20 miles, mostly flat, did not use the battery. Wanted to save it. When I got to some...

Thanks Steven. I may go back to LBS and get their take on adapting an L.

Thank you both for your replies. I just feel as if it makes my reach a bit more extended and spread out than I like. Now granted, I don't ride in the drops very often, but for this kind of money, I might as well get it the way I like it. May decide to get road version and swap the tires...

Anybody had the Creo SL Carbon Comp EVO handlebars changed from flared to the regular road version handlebars? I like the Sage Green EVO color and the wider tires, but not so keen on the handlebars, and the seat is an easy swap if I so choose. I found this interesting site...

Thanks. Yes, I tried the XL Evo with dropper post today.

Thanks for the thoughts. I had asked if we could get the handlebars up higher for a less aggressive posture, and they happened to have a 90mm 24 degree stem on hand. So it was the 24 degree part, not the shorter length, that was the main reason. However, if I'm trying to get more upright, the...

Thanks Jo. Long torso, short legs (would you believe 30" inseam?). My 2009 Roubaix is an XL also. I did try the L version and the LBS felt I was too cramped. I feel that a higher stem on the XL may get me to the preferred riding position. Re: the flare, yes, I tried regular road version, but...

Thanks Amoto. LBS said: I said sure, let's try it.

Thank you, Vamos, MSchwett, and Amoto65. I just sent an email to my LBS with pictures of RMK and MSchwett angled stem photos. I'll see what their thoughts are. Sounds as if there's a way to make this work even with the Future Shock.

Greetings. First post. Thank you all for the discussion of the Creo. Been researching. Taken me a week or two to get through the 38 pages. Skimmed parts that were more in the weeds than I needed. Have test ridden Comp Carbon, Comp Carbon EVO, and E5 in XL. Leaning towards EVO, though not sure I...
