Question Sub?

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.

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.
