Exciting movement in the day.
When I was in Houston, TX visiting my friend Kim-she has really gotten into biking-well more triathlon's. There was even a clinic going on for training for them in the area we visited. By the way the nastiest beach i have ever seen. There were lots of beautiful carbon frame bikes. On the way back we even looked at bikes at Sun and Ski, similiar to REI. I road one in the store, a 2005 model of a light framed (aluminm). When i lifted it, I thought to myself wow i curl more than this bike weighs. That night I consumed lots of wine and looked at bikes online, and it boiled down to I am not going to drop 1500-2000 on a bike. Plus with the carbon frame if i fall which i do alot then, shoot My bike could become fractured and straight useless. Also, I am not going to be doing triathlon's just riding around pittsburgh. I decided on getting a Road Bike, since I am a bit more comfortable with those type of handle bars and the postion. Also, I found a frame with the components that wieghs 19.5 pounds-I hope it is awesome. It arrives today from Houston actually. I am very excited to assemble it and hopefully take it on a little stroll.
