Hi all,
I have a little experience on road bikes, however, most of my experience is on hybrid and mountain bikes.
Recently, I found a group that cycles about 40 miles twice a week on relatively flat roads. The group I will ride with will be riding between 15-20 mph and I hope to eventually graduate to a group riding about 25 mph.
I am currently looking for used bikes from local cyclists. I know I need a 50-52 cm frame and I am not looking to spend more than 300. Any advice on the material the bike should be made out of, the condition I should be looking for, or just general advice for someone purchasing that is new to the sport?
Thanks in advance.
