Hello guys,
I am pretty new to biking. A few years back, my dad and I got a pair of trek 7.2FX's just to bike around, at the beach, and for short errands. They never got too much use, maybe around 100 miles a year. I recently have gotten really into biking, and have been trying to ride 100+ miles a week, and hope to bring that up to 200+ once school is out. I want to get intro the racing scene at college next year in Cat D, and want to get a road bike that I can race for a season or two. I don't want to spend that much; if I decide to keep racing in higher category, I can get a better bike then. The Felt F85 seems like the best bike for the price. Is there anything better in that price range ($1099 + pedals + shoes)/
Any input is appreciated.
