Hi I am planning on making the jump from a Mongoose MTB bought at ****'s Sporting Goods store (for those outside US this a major reatil chain). I did change to road friendly tires & better pedals. I am a road rider that puts in about 4 days a week but I'm not a road warrior.
I'm 6 feet tall & am considering a road bike or a touring bike.
I have no brand preference. I do have a limited budget of $750.00 delivered or picked up by me. Less wouldn't be bad.
I have visited some local bike shops to look & find that my eye always driftes to bikes selling for $2500+.
So if you you could help with some suggestions I'd appreciate it. If I do go buy a bike for $2500.00 I'll end up with a $7500.00 divorce lawyer bill to go with it. That & I am pretty sure that seats are much more comfortable on the outside of my buttocks.
