Road bike and Hybrid/city

[freerider]

ahh bikes, don't buy one.. its a disease, it never stops at one.. i now own 4 of the damn things. as Far a road bikes go, i am a big fan of my specialized tarmac. I think you can get a 09 brand new one for roughly 1500, in Alberta anyways. i wouldn't go with a cruiser/hybrid, especially if you thinking there's a possibility of maybe racing down the road. if your not looking at spending that much cash this is about the time roadies are wanting to sell rigs cheap for the new stuff for 2010 season.
i recommend a road bike, but that's just me
if i were you id just go buy myself a full on downhill rig, kelowna has got some amazing trails

You know the correct number of bikes to own is "one more" right?

Devinci is a sexy bike. Not familiar with that particular model as I'm more a downhiller/mountain biker, but my DH bike is a Devinci and love it.

Way easier on your joints to bike.

Just one more you say? Commuter hybrid bikes are built for speed on the streets, but still survive on light trails.

I ordered a Sedona LX from Giant (Cyclepath in Kelowna) earlier in the week. Really looking forward to it, and it was a decent price. (cheap)

Who did you deal with there? Dave hooked me up with a bike today. Really great guy. didn't push anything, and gave a variety of options to go with for things like pedals and such.

And what i picked up!




Took it out for a ride today... I am soooooooooo out of shape as far as cardio goes. I guess 5 months off will do that to you. Felt great to be on there though!

I deal with Gary the owner, or Matt (who is one of my sister's good friends). How much did you get that badboy for? :P

PS: you might soon regret a straight street bike after you ride the roads of Kelowna

I talked with Matt a bunch too. I was really surprised with that shop. a few that I went into when i lived in calgary were pretty snobby.

We will see about the roads. a few of the routes i have been eyeing up still have a bit of gravel on them, but there didn't seem to be too many cracks. we will see when i finally ride over them.

They are some very helpful laid back guys, that's for sure. And they really love what they do, and know their stuff.

Depends which areas of town you're biking in... some are better than others

What model tarmac are you riding? I have been looking at these online.
