Member  31  brooklyn new york |  Subject: hey guys..Just wanted to introduce myself. i want to begin training for a buathlon sprint coming up in next year. im not in great shape but i plan on making it. i know its a sprint, but its a step in the right direction. i need to get a new road bike...i converted my old bianchi into a fixed gear to ride around in brooklyn..i guess i cant compete with a 18t fixed huh!? lol any recommendations on an entry level bike? i just want something to get me going..i can always upgrade the components later on if i feel they need it.. thanks james |

Expert 963  | Subject: RE: hey guys.. I'd start by checking out reviews on RoadBikeReview.com. They've got a classifieds section too where you might find some good deals. Personally I'm a Felt fan ('cuz that's what I have). For the money, they provide a components that are pretty hard to beat. This time of year though, you might find some excellent deals at your local bike shop on last year's models. Enjoy the shopping and let us know what you end up with! |

Expert 1092 Earth | Subject: RE: hey guys.. Depending on how much you want to spend. I would find a LBS and get fitted there. You could ride that fixed bike, but you would likely have a tough time of it. I did see that insideoutsports had some great deals, so you could check there. |

Master 2139 piece o heaven | Subject: RE: hey guys.. Definitely the LBS and get fitted. And check clearance of the past models. I too am a Felt believer. But it depends upon your choice of ride and what works for you. By the way WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
