Hi guys and girls,
I have been commuting to work now for the last 6 months on my Trek mountain bike and I ride around 80-100kms a week. I want to go faster and have built up confidence and fitness to move up a level on my bike.
I have never owned a road bike due to usually doing mountain bike riding, but now I want to get one.
Problem is I have no idea what to look for, whats good gearing? good frame size? good brand? what should I look for?
I am 6"2 and weight around 100kgs (heavier then average) and Im after a bike that is quick, reliable and good brand with good reputation.
My budget is around $2 grand.
If you guys could recomend some stuff for me to try out then I can narrow it down and see what I like.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
