Hi,
I've just started riding and have decided to do the Great Vic next yr, a friends time going to do it with has said my current bike needs replacing if I'm going to be serious about riding. Knowing nothing about bikes I have spend the last little while on the net and in shops acting stupid to find out some info and I think that I want to get a Sublime.1... can anyone give me some feedback regarding this bike/brand and if they know of any problems with it. Thanks! Jo |

I can't comment on the bike model but I can comment on the brand. My 12 year old daughter has been riding a SubTrax for 6 months. MTB with road slicks on it. Basic level components but it is a reasonable package at a reasonable price. The dimensions/geometry suit a tallish female (she at the bottom end of SUB's large size frame). Bike has been good so far. SteveA |

My wife has had the top of the line SUB road bike (can't remember the model) for nearly 2 years, and loves it. She is only 5'1' so size of brakes, handlebars etc was an issue, even on smaller frame men's bikes. It has Carbon forks and Ultegra components - best buy we've made in a while given the comfort and enjoyment she gets from it.

Does anyone have much to say about the Avanti Expedition? it was suggested to day in a LBS that it is the better way to go than the SUB... So much confusion out there! |

I've got the bottom of the line Sub roadbike and have had it for a year. I like it very much, but am eventually going to have to change some componentry.
