hi all,
i have 2 bikes currently in my possession. both are over 5 years old & i'm not sure which one will be better for me
mountain bike - 18 gears, i'm riding this 5 nights a week for 10km each ride
road bike - 12 gears. i just got this given to me. it needs some brakes, tyres & a seat
i was wondering what the difference is between the two bikes?
the way i ride is all on road, a few steady inclines, & a bike decline that i roar down. i do the whole 10km's in 18th gear on the mountain bike, the inclines get a bit slow but i manage to do it pretty easily
before i go out & spend money on the road bike, will it be worth it?
I've read in other threads that a road bike allows you to maintain a higher speed, but i ride pretty fast anyways, i'm mainly wondering what the top gear on the road bike (12) will be like in comparison to the top gear on the mountain (18)
cheers is advance
