Hello everyone,
Well I finally decided to get a road bike. This is uncharted territory for me so I thought I would ask the experts here..
I ride the MS150 every year so this bike will be used for that, maybe a sprint tri or three(if I ever get my butt in shape to do one), occasional group rides, and trainer duty during the winter.
I have between $600 and $700 to spend. I do not really have a preference on brand. I have started looking and this is what I have come up with so far...
Giant OCR3 (2008 model) Price $689
Specs
Scott S50 (Leftover 2007) Price $590
2008 Specs (I couldn't find the 2007 specs)
Price is the deciding factor, I want most bang for the buck (of course). I have been getting myself acquainted with the different shimano road component groups so I know that I am at or near the bottom in this price range. Any insight would be helpful, thanks in advance.
