I probably will end up with a new or lightly used bike, but I was looking for feedback, not a cheap shot at my ride.
The answer needed to be phrased a little more tactful I admit. What he said was true though. Let's put it this way: Use the correct tool for the job. Would you race a cruiser on the track? Of course you wouldn't. You would use sport bike or something that was race prepped. Well, if you are doing serious endurance training you don't use a Dime Store bike.
Go to a real Bike store and explain what you are looking for. Tell them you want a fitness bike or entry level road bike. Good luck
