Anyone into road cycling?
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 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 Roger at Push N Pedal Cycles stock them: 9582 0131 |

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.

I can almost keep up with cars in a 50 zone, but I will check the computer out anyway. I haven't been riding in over 6 months. Beer is a much better idea lately
