Hi
I've only jsut purchased a flat handled roadie (about 2months ago), Shogun Mach 1 - http://www.shogunbicycles.com.au/Mach1GlossSilver.html
and so far have enjoyed evey part of riding!
However, after getting into it I'm feeling more inclined to get a proper road bike. More so for the aggressive posture when riding. I try to get out every weekend and do a couple of hours of hill climbing!
I don't have much idea about components, geometry etc... but im willing to learn!
I now pose a question on what bike to consider getting in the upcoming months. I have 2 in mind (no reason so far, apart from reading up on them from other reviews)
1. Giant OCR2
2. Felt F85 or Z70
Like I said earlier - I dont really know what to look for in a bike... apart from the shimano components.
Im 6'1 weighing in at approx 60kgs. I've got a budget of $1000 or so, just for the bike - as i already have the accessories.
Any recommendations or basic tips on buying or what to look for would be great!
Cheers,
Dom
