Hi Gals! I am so excited to be here! The world of cycling can be so intimidating to newbies - but after spinning religiously I feel a very strong desire to just get on the road and start racking up the miles! I got up the courage to go to my LBS and they were wonderful. My original price cap was 800$...but I looked and looked at other models and makes and I ultimately fell head over heals for this beautiful Orbea Aqua Dama. It had a 2200 tag marked down to 1999 then they said they could sell it for 1600. I put it on layaway but can switch it to a different model if i change my mind. Im trying to justify spending this much when I havent ridden on the road in
12 years! I am eager to get out there. Please tell me if you think this is a good bike, price, etc. and how long I will be able to ride this bike ...my first goal is a century in September, then more and more after that!
