There is a search facility….although unless you know what to look for, its useless. http://road.cc/search

As SD says, bike fit is important, I would say the MOST important part of buying a new bike. Its worth spending part of your budget on that and then going from there.

Its not that we can’t suggest a bike for you, its that EVERYONE is shaped differently, so one bike is perfect for one person and then is the worst fit for another.

So we ALWAYS recommend going to your LBS (Local Bike Shop) and trying out different models and sizes and getting a bike fit done. Then using all that knowledge gained, fit a bike that fits your needs.

Its alright coming online for suggestions, but we can only suggest bikes and brands we know and use or have used. So you are going to get a limited number of replies from the mainly male based forum….

You might want to change the title to

“Road bike for a FEMALE beginner”

That might attract more females to the thread….

How much more of an angle are you trying to get?

I’m not sure what more you could do, because if you get much more of an angle, the bolt wouldn’t hold the rails properly.

One thing you could try, its a simple, but not great fix. Tape up the rails to make them a little bigger at the rear, to tip it down a bit, but you can’t do to much.
