"I wondered. That’s not really the type of bike I’m looking for. I generally ride between 3,000-3,500 miles per year, so I really want something with a carbon fiber frame, but I am thinking about 105 components as opposed to ultegra."

3,000 to 3,500 miles per year?! With kind of short legs I imagine. I can understand why you would want a helium-filled:) frame! The furthest I ever rode in day was about 40, and i barely made it back! On a old heavy 26'' mountain bike. But pray and pedal wherever the Lord leads.

Here is a pictogram (or a picinfo, picthingie, whatever) from Strava app showing the days I rode this year up to the first week of December.

I didn't ride early in the year because there was a lot of snow and ice.
Winter before was mild with no snow at all and I rode a lot.
Hope to ride much this winter.

June is noted as having the most rides.
