[OrRando] new bicycle recommendations

[Joe Keenan]

Hi Rachael,
   
  From the "other side" of the coin, consider a recumbent for long distance cycling.  Stop in at Coventry Cycles and take a look at what's there.  Simply, the benefits of no arm, neck, shoulder, butt, crotch pain on long distances makes them that much more enjoyable.  Plus, you get to wave a lot. 
   
  Cheers

    Hello,
   
  I am shopping for a bike that would be appropriate for ultradistance cycling.  I looked at a Scott Contessa CR1 which is a carbon fiber frame, 10 speed with a triple crank.  What other options would you recommend for a woman specific bike?  What are the pros and cons of carbon fiber vs. titanium vs. aluminum with carbon seatstay and fork?  What bike shops in the Portland area cater to long distance cyclists?
   
  Thank you!
