Hi All,
I am a newbie to the site and a rookie rider. I started riding last year and wanted to step it up a notch. I currently have a Trek 1300 (if I recall correctly) and its a 12 speed. I got blown away last year and some of the hills we went up and down crushed me.
I just left a local bike shop and met a Masi Vincere; what an awesome looking bike. The shop owner was telling me that the bike is great for its price but that I could get a Raleigh for less with the same bells and whistles. He recommended that I come test ride both and see which one I like more.
My budget is $1,000 and I am looking to get the most bang for my buck. I also want to get a good bike.
I think my riding is going to be recreational and possibly 3-5 times a month at an average distance of 35 miles, anyone want to offer me any advice or opinions of the Masi?
Thanks! I am interested in other bikes as well but need to focus on affordability.
Vito
