True, usually caused by bleeding from the eyeballs!

The whole point of a red bike is that nobody sees the blood from said eyeballs running down the frame.

All jokes aside, like others have said, the first thing is to get the right size road bike. It is more critical than on a mtb, because you will be spending more time in the same position than on a mtb.

Then, if you are young and athletic, you can cope easily with a very racy bike that will give you a flat bent forward and more aerodynamic position. Good, but if you are getting on the grey side of time, then a somewhat more upright, less racy geometry will be easier on the back, neck and arms.

If you plan to keep your mtb, then go for the skinny and fast road machine. If you plan to sell your mtb, perhaps consider a gravel /all road bike for the versatility. But then you lose a bit on the high speed side.

(I also first rode mtb and then added road, but that was so long ago, gravel bikes didn't even exist.......)

To be honest I like the 1st and the 2nd bikes from my list.

Try a road bike with at least 2.25 tires and a rear shock .
