Super nice, when hubby buys, he goes all out. I am afraid of triathalons because I know my bke isn't a good fit, but it's so nice...I don't want another hobby that requires nice toys! too much hanging over my head ;) I have a cannondale mountain bike.

I've been watching when the best sales are- I told myself if I did tri's for 2 seasons, I could buy a road bike on sale. Almost there...;) Oh how awesome!!

I have a Bianchi road bike that looks great, but it is old and so very heavy. Tires make a huge difference though, and how the bike fits, of course. I took off my clip-on aero bars (a hand-me-down from a friend) because they were too far from shifting/brakes to ever settle in and use in my hilly area. Oh, and good pedals are worth every penny.
