I've searched through over 20 pages here, but it seems as most titles are vague and hard to find exactly what I am looking for.
Here's the deal:
I'm new to road bikes, 44 y.o. decent shape. 5'11" and about 190 lbs. I know I want at least, Shimano 105 components and can't really spend more than $1,500. I would like to ride -- or try to ride a few rando's, possibly do some club rides (after I find a compatible one) and generally ride for fitness.
I have a Specialized MTB (stumpjumper S4) and really like it so I am inclined to start by looking at Specialized. However, I am willing to shop around.
I value your opinions and look forward to your responses.
Thanks,
Mahai
