Today I was running late so I pushed it in order to not be too late for work, did the same on the way home. I was so happy to get out of there, I couldn't wait to open a cold one when I arrived. This Sunday I'm supposed to go for a ride with a friend who just bought a carbon fiber bike, should be fun. I have been thinking of buying a road bike myself but I'm not sure I care how heavy it is. My LHT is steel and it is very comfortable to ride, the only thing I'd change is the gearing. I'm seriously considering a road bike built around a steel frame. Seems to me I could keep it very light by spending my money on good components and thus keep it relatively light. I'm in the research phase right now, learning all about what makes a good road bike.
