Hi All,
I am also new here, and to road biking! I truly love my experience thus far.
I too hope I am posting in the right place.
A few months ago I had never ridden a road bike. Today I am shopping for a better bike. I purchased a used Giant Avail 3 that had hardly even been broken in. Great deal, but after riding 4 plus times a week, between 15 and 30 miles, I am wondering if I need something with better components. I have found another great deal on a Trek 2100 Wsd. 2007 with less than 400 miles on it. Much better components, and Carbon Fiber. My Avail does have a carbon fiber fork.
Question. Will I really be able to tell that much difference?
I have found a passion in riding at 52! I plan on growing with the sport, and
the knowledge of my new baby. Thanks for any advice.
