i used to ride bmx and mtb's as my only for of travel till i was 17. im new to road bikes. now what my question is i see people talking about spending $2000 on a bike to get started. im just wondering the drawbacks or whats wrong with the gravity ave b for 279$(i think it was that much). i ride around 15 to 20 miles a day for exercise and to beat my own times . im just wondering because some people say down the road you will wish u just spend more to start . i know my buddy bought a gary fisher to start and that was a pretty penny.
