I just turned 47 and I'm beginning to realize that the wear-and-tear of inline skating is starting to take its toll on the old bones. There are a lot of cycling groups around the area here in Atlanta, and since I've always wanted to get into cycling, I've finally realized that this may be the right time.
I'd like to get a nice bike, one that I don't have to trade up on for some time go come (if ever). I'll be riding on the streets mostly and in Stone Mountain Park which is a very large park here in Georgia.
My question is for under $3,000 what should I be looking for in a bike and what are some of the pros and cons I may need to know if I start looking at frames made by Colnago, Cannondale, Felt, Specialized, Trek, Look, Orbea, BMC or Cervelo to name a few?
Thanks in advance for any help, this is a great site.
