Hi folks..........

I am soon to be 46 and haven't bought a bike since 1991

Want to get into cycling again (last time was mountain biking, mostly just on dirt trails/pavement) - my brother n law loves road biking, and has been begging me to ride with him........

So, I am 5'4" - and am thinking about this bike:

Went to two different bike shops, one higher end than the other....tried Raleigh carbon frame, and alum frame....both price points a little high for me....then went to another shop and tried the GT - good fit it seemed...and more affordable, although not as cheap as the Trex Lexa (haven't tried yet) or Felt entry level (also haven't tried)

I will mostly just be riding 1 - 2 days per week....on a paved bike trail...some hills...if anyone has any experience with GT Series 3 bikes....or any other thoughts, would love to hear them.

Thanks, this forum has been very helpful
