Hi. I've decided to get into cycling to both lose weight and gain back some of my stamina. I'm a big guy (285#), and my knees are none to happy from wrestling in HS and other stupidities.

I'm looking for a bike now, specifically an older, steel frame road bike. The roads around me are packed with bikes, so I know there are places to ride. And the older steel frame because a) I'm cheap and b) I'm fat.
