Well, I am looking to start cycling. I am only going to do this as a hobby, not compeditively, so I don't really need that good of a bike. Up in the UP, we have alot of fun hilly, twisty roads, and I need something to keep my fat ass in shape, plus my roomate next year is really into cycling.
Anyways I am looking for a good entry level bike. I have looked at the Trek 1000, along with a few specialized, raleighing, Giant, ect. I am only looking to spend around 600 at most. I want a bike that has a decent frame, so if I do start to get into it, I can at least up to better componets. What I have seen is the diffrence between the base bikes and other still aluminum higher quality bikes is the delrailer, and a few other little things. All the ones I have looked at so far already have a Carbon fork.
What would you guys recomend. keep in mind my budget. About me, I am 160-170lbs (hopefully will get back down 150 by the end of this summer), 5'11", and the size that I was looking at and felt kinda natural to ride was the 56cm frame.
