My friend just got me interested in cycling again and I join him every weekend.

Only problem is that he rides a road bike and mine is a mountain bike. This being the case, I can never match up to his speed and/or endurance because my bike is not built for long distance road cycling.

Anyway I'm thinking about getting a road bike and just wondering if anyone here is into road cycling and what bikes they have, brand/model preference as well as groupset.

Thanks

I have a Trek "1000" (couple of years old) which was the entry level mens road bike from Trek at the time. Quality bit of kit. Cost me $1000 (plus some extras such as different pedals etc).

From memory, todays model equivalent of mine is called the "1.2".

I have a Masi road bike which I have ridden 4 times mate! It is worth (or was when I bought it) around 2k. I was going to be putting it up for sale this week. It is yours for $1200 if you want it. It has cleets and the shoes I have are size 9 worth $200+ which I will throw in if you're keen.

I have a custom made Merida Road HFS 906.

I love it! So light, awesome gearset. I am a fat bastard and I can get it to 70km/h bursts easy and usually sit anywhere from 40/45km/h

Highly recommended

I think you might need to re-calibrate you computer bro! I raced for a small pro team in France several years ago so i go ok and i don't remember 45km/hr being that easy

Anyway, bike you get will depend on how much you want to spend. That one of Jaron's sounds pretty good if its right size, otherwise something like Giant is pretty popular.
