Hi,
I used to race in the past while in high school and college, but with time constraints, stopped cycling completely in the last 5-6 years (I am 33 y.o.)
I want to get back into cycling and ride about +/- 100 miles a week (mostly for exercise.) I am NOT a person who likes to ride centuries, but like short (20-40 mile rides) and like to get anaerobic a few times during the ride. I am 6'1" 170 lbs and NOT 20 anymore. I need something fast, light and COMFORTABLE. I live in FL (FLAT!!!)
Here is the question:
For less than $3000, which bike should I get?
I looked at the 2003 Litespeed Tuscany recenly on sale for $2500 (ultegra/shimano WH-R540 wheels).
Is there a better bike for the price (since that bike MSRP is $3300)???
Any advice greatly appreciated!
Mike
