Buying my first road bike...

[RoadRaven]

Hey there CC, if you make it here, I'll serve you up some raspberries (I think my new berry bushes will be fruiting then???)

Seriously though, how's the hunt going?

Hi road raven,

Well,the bike search is on hold at the moment...(i am looking at one on wed-thanks mellic!)

I can't run nor bike but maybe swim as i have a frozen hand along with the bottom of my right foot plus funny knee & leg pain..I noticed i couldn't feel the bottom of my right foot on sat after the group road ride. My hand went numb in the pool this morning. Typing is agonizing with my right hand.

I mentioned in antother post that it boils down to two or three reasons-not taking my thyroid medication(just plain forgetting), the road bike i borrowed & the position i hold my neck in and it affecting my posture at my workstation. (i've been to the dr & physio...it's under control i think...)

I'm leaving it at that for now as typing is starting to bug me

Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I found a bike...not just any bike but Mellic's VERY VERY well cared for 2004 Giant OCR1(not ocr2 ooops).....

It's a small 44cm compact frame....about as small as i'm going to be able to find without spending more on a road bike than my nice black machine...

All i need to do now is learn how to ride the blue machine properly! It's just so nice to look at and i'd hate to break it!

Mr black scott machine & mrs blue giant machine will now compliment eachother....zooooooommmmmm..(and that's without any coffee...)
