Beginner, huh? Or a normal human being on a moderate income with debt to pay off, a life outside of cycling, and without a sponsorship or compulsory buying problem.
Granted, there goes 4 out of 5 on the forum! So by beginner you must mean beginner internet hero? Know what you're sayin, but a few of us know our way around bikes and have bigger and more important things to throw our wad at..
