Looking for a road bike

[drago52]

another note: If looking at used bikes, make sure you get one with 10 speed drivetrain (10 gears on the cassette). 10 spd is the standard now, so if you get a 9 or 8 speed cassette, you'll be kicking yourself later when you want to upgrade or replace parts.

Thanks for all the info. I think I will go with some kind of road bike instead of a tri bike. While I will be using it to go to work, I'm just doing that so I can get some extra exercise in for the day. I'll find a few on CL that I think may be good and post them here. Hopefully someone can tell me if they are crap or not. Thanks!!!

If you find a 10 cog bike you want, great. 100% not necessary tho. Never had any problem getting new parts for my old 7 cog at Cycle Analyst or online at http://www.loosescrews.com/. They even have new 5 cog freewheels.

Good call man...I jumped at the first deal I found instead of doing a bit more research and biked up a tri bike...its great on the straights and rolling hills, but it handles like crap as soon as the road bends...

Hmm..I have a 1985 accord centurion road bike (google for pix) that I have sitting around. I can let it go for free if you wanna pick it up. It has two flat tires tho let me know.

Edit: Ahh, I just read that you want to do a triathlon with it hahaha. NVM. The road bike I have will only be good for commuting heh.
