looking to get a new bike. I sold my previous one this past spring....a Cannondale black lightning that I bought when I was fifteen.
Looks like a lot has changed since then.
I bought my black lightning because of it's light weight, cool looks, and nice group (now extinct suntour superbe pro). It also had some nice mavic rims.
So, no more down tube shifters, I see, and are tubular tires even made any more?
What do I need to know before spending some money on a new bike?
Any advice welcomed.
I am fat and lazy now. Probably won't do any rides over 10 miles. I still want something light, but other than that, I'm open to any and all suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
TickDoc
