Hi,this is the first time I've used a forum so we'll see how it goes.
I've used a mountainbike for commuting daily & weekend bikepaths etc for 2yrs & want to upgrade to a lighter,faster bike for about Aus$1500.Even though I've always had bikes-usually the old 'racing' bikes I've only recently caught the bug and don't know lot,technically. My research has led to 'flat bar road bikes' [not hybrids] Avanti blade comp or Merida speed3 [Giant Perigee is too heavy]Does anyone know of the merits or otherwise of these bikes? I may be getting too hung up on wether they're strong enough for a bit of touring which I want to work towards. They both seem a good comprimise between lightness & strength. Thanks, Cate. |
