Getting myself and my son into it is $$$$$$$$$$.. so I liked that it was lower end prices range w. all the geometry/gear of the $$$ bikes.
Will probably just ride w. him on the mountain roads around PHX, w. the occasional charity ride/race, and maybe some crits, just because I love all racing. :D
I'll keep you guys updated, thanks!

Road Bike Shopping
Looking at a new bike, budget is $1500. Bicycle is my primary mode of transportation. I do a lot of city riding, this bike will probably be used for that on nice days and longer distance trips. I don't compete, but it isn't outside the realm of possibility. I do want something fast.
So far I've looked at Treks and my most local bike shop can order me anything from Scott, specifically we talked over the S20. Personally, I've had my eye on a CDale CAAD 10 or maybe a CAAD 8, but haven't seen them yet. I haven't ridden anything yet.
I want something that will be fast and durable, with potential for me to grow into as a rider. What are your opinions on frame brands and components? What about wheels?--Will

My bike plates came in yesterday and I get so much love from bikers (usually doesn't happen when you're behind the wheel). I get people stopping to tell me how they love them. As I was putting them on, some dude almost lost control telling me how cool they were, he kept on turning around and smiling and shouting hah. The plates are all over the place but they're usually on Prius' which don't stand out as much as my e30 ;)
Anyway, thought that was cool and decided to share.

Anyone know anything about a Schwinn 434? it's an 80s' roadbike(period correct right?!), might pick up from CL for $140, pristine. Supposedly they were made by Paramount or some story like that.

Snapped a few more pics of my '10 SE Stout...for the 'for sale' ad.
Picked up an FSA 34T chainring(replacing the original 32T):
Also added a pair of Ritchey True Grip's. At €4, they were worth every penny and more. The original SE grips were crap.Last edited by MikeDE; 04-10-2012, 12:14 PM.-03/2005 E46 330D Touring 6spd(204hp/410nM) Sapphire Black/Naturbraun Sport...300k KM & 35mpg(mixed)
