Waiting for Spring

[surgtech1956]

I'm just waiting around for spring - thinking about buying myself a new bike. Clothing and accessories to buy. Right now I have a Giant OCR 3 - would like to spend no more than $1,200 any recommendations? Maybe steel? I want to buy some shorts - from what I've read here, don't buy cheap. What about jerseys? I did just purchase a Garmin 305 - probably get the bike mount now. My biking goals are exercise/fitness, maybe a century. Thanks

I like steel. You might take a look at what Jamis has to offer in the way of steel bikes. I just bought an Aurora for about $950. Now it's a touring bike, but it wouldn't be contrary to your goals. Of course they have other models, too.

thanks I know Specialized makes a steel Allez too.

2+ on Jamis. You get a lot of bike for the money.
