Thanks for the welcome!
Is there a forum, or a place on the forums somewhere, where I could ask questions about purchasing a bike?
I'm currently riding a 2009 Specialized Tricross, but am doing mostly road riding. I'm looking to get another bike, probably a road bike. I had a flat last week and took my bike to the shop for a tune-up anyway, and checked out some bikes while waiting. My Tricross is giving me a good workout, but I'd kind of like something where I can get a little more speed.
Right now I'm mostly focused on a 2011 Specialized Roubaix. I rode a 2012 Roubaix around the lot of the shop and it was really nice (even wearing jeans and with clipless pedals).
Some people tell me I can get good deals on Craig's list, and I've seen some decent bikes there, as well as on e-bay. But I really like having the service included, and being able to pop in the shop if I need to (it is only 2 miles from home).
Thoughts?
