Hey there everyone
Am new to this forums and infact new to Sydney. My names Steve and am in consumer healthcare, Left my roadie back in Melbourne, Bendigo to be precise, with a view to get a nice new one, in the next couple of weeks.
Was looking in a few bike shops today, and found a reasonable bike, just under the 2k mark, it was a Giant CRX Zero, and it’s a 08 model. Just wondering whether someone on here owns one, or have any opinion on if this is the bike I should go for, or if there an alternative. Basically, am not really looking to enter as a professional, more a recreational roadie, just like going for rides 100 - 150k, on the weekend, alas, this leads me to my next question.
Along with the roadie, I want to also get a Mountain Bike, as its a side of the sport i want to get more into to, and there are some great looking tracks up terry hills way, any ideas on what I should go for, and what I should pay, want to get the bike both at the same time, to get a better price for both.
Thirdly, where are some great road/track also in Sydney, being no bike lanes what so ever in the inner city, you have to be crazy to ride with the width of the roads only being able to fit a car barely, plus some ignorant drivers.
Lastly, can anyone direct me to group ride/clubs that you are joined up to? Want to get into the sport, plus, restart to make new mates up here, thanks!
Hope to get lots of info off this forums, thanks to all in advance!
Regards Steve
