After purchasing a used beater bike last year, The time has come to upgrade to a roadbike after a long winter it was nice to be on the streets of brooklyn again. I have new bike on the mind the $ To spend. I'm going to three different bikeshops and telling the what I want (A road bike with pedals and a computer.) My budget ($1500) and my concerns (mainly my weight I'm 265). First store was the Trek store of Brooklyn and they were great even did a mini fitting after I told them I wasnt buying today. There recommendation was a LeMond Tourmolet (http://trekofbrooklyn.com/itemdetails.cfm?catalogId=39&id=517) I was in love and I think this is the bike and the store. Tommorow I'm going to two other shops that I know. And I'll post my other findings. Any advice or recomendations are greatly appreciated.
