If you are looking for a bike- send a PM to triman54, he knows his bikes.

Hell-he's got a room in his house just for bikes.

Well, there's the fitness bikes. . . but seeing as I spin 1-3x a week, it's now become more of an issue of going riding with the other spin nuts.

So, entry level road bike it is.
Price range? Do you like any particular component brands? Frame behavior/material?

Unkie, why does nobody make a perfect bike* for me?






* I want a new commuter bike, riding on 700C tires, that has some front and rear suspension, does not have a super upright seating position, etc. I can't even find a frame set to start from. Nobody does short travel rear suspension and I don't want a gonzo downhill MTB.
