Build up your engine through lots of riding.
Then get the lightest most expensive road bike you can't afford. Then with the strong engine and light bike, you too can make the newbies wish for a better bike!
Hey Brother Willis, you are on the money!
TruF, The 7.2 is a fantastic choice for getting into cycling. Not a ton of money, yet enough of a bike to let you know if you really like this thing (and it sounds like you do)
You are where I was one year ago, almost to the day. I bought a 7.5, and before you know it, I was piling up the miles and daydreaming about my next bike. And like Willis my fellow co-dependant, I got the best bike I couldn't afford.
And the really sick thing is, I am already thinking I would like to get a sturdy road-style bike for winter in addition to my newest bike, something like a Bianchi Volpe or a Rivendell Bleriot.
And to show you how really twisted my mind has become, I've almost convinced myself that yes, I could be happy with just one more bike........but I'm only kidding myself.
The madness never stops.
It's great fun, happy pedaling
