I am Andre, US Army Sergeant First Class, curretly deployed to Afghanistan. I am married and have two kids.

I suffered and injury during airborne operations and I find it difficult to run (not impossible, but difficult), which is one of my favorite hobbies, due to this injury I started biking and just fell in love with it. I've been trying to figure out what would be the best bike for me....I had a Giant (boulder 2009) whom I traded for a GT (Transeo 4.0 2010), I believe the trade was worth it but im not familiar with spec or stuff like that....that is why i joined this community I am hoping to learn and develop my knowledge with your input and hopefully meet people who I can talk to about my new found passion.

I am glad to be here.....
