Hi all - I'm looking into buying a road bike (right now just have a Fisher Tassajara MTB bike but
don't really get as much a chance to hit trails as I'd like) and mainly use it for distance rides
(century rides, maybe some bike tours). I'm pretty much a complete beginner, but I'd like to buy
something that I won't have to replace for a number of years. I went to a store and checked out the
Klein Q-Pro Carbon - which is at the top end of my price range (quoted at $2300) and that definitely
seemed to be a strong contender. I was also looking at a Kestrel Talon - not really sure how to pick
with all the bikes on the market. I most likely won't do any racing but I plan on riding a good bit
(will shoot for 4 to 5 rides a week when the snow is off the ground) and I'd like to get into
distance riding. Any advice/resources to look at? Comparisons between the Kestrel and the Klein?
Thanks a lot.
