Hi,
I'm just getting into road biking and would like to invest in a good bike to train with. I have no ideas what brands are good or bad. So I was hoping for some pointers as to what to look for.
Thanks any info will be appreciated.

I was fortunate enough a few years ago to purchase a Schwinn
Spinner Pro.Its abit pricey.You can adjust the resistance to train in differant heart rate zones.

Russell, you're going to have to give us a bit more information if you want useful replies. The 3 most important questions (IMHO) are:

-How much do you want to spend?

-How much riding and/or racing will you be doing?

-What type of riding will you be doing? (touring, commuting, racing, rail-trails, etc...)
