Hey!

First have fun. I am riding like a maniac in Malibu on a Raleigh '03 Competition. To save money I recommend buying a two or three year old new model. Will save about 30%.

I agree . . . you can get a much better bike if You buy it "pre-owned" just a year or two. That's how I got a great deal on my LeMond Poprad. Keep an eye on craigslist.com for deals.

I recommend Supergo. Most of the people are helpful and their pricing policy is great. I bought an Allez Elite a month ago for $999 and have gotten price matched since. The last match was $899 w/ no tax, so about $830.

I recommand 2 Wheeler Dealer in Brea, because they're simply good people.

Welcome to the forums!

Let us know when you want to start riding with us in the OC. There are many groups and also just a bunch of free spirits that ride around the county.
