I stumbled across this forum while trying to research touring bikes. I'm new to cycling in general but I am a fitness enthusiast and decided cycling is going to be my next great out door fitness activity. Three of my friends and I are planing to do a tour from New Jersey to California in the span of about 2 months. My problem is that I can't decide on what Bike I should be throwing my money down on.
Today I found a deal on a '04 Sequoia Specialized Elite for $675 US. After reading a number of posts here it seems that this bike really isn't suited for a 2 month tour.
I'm 6 foot 4 inches and about 225 pounds and have no real idea what I'm doing when it comes to bikes. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Thank you in advance.
