Gear: I picked up some basics but anyone have a good website for clothes? What I have so far is very monochromatic.
Cages: No idea what to get. I assume carbon.
Computer: Garmin or Cateye? Leaning toward small cateye just for cadence. Hard to get lost in NYC where I bike most.
Bike bag: People still use these?
Eventually looking to upgrade saddle and wheels but need to give credit card a rest and pay for kids' pre-school.
Thanks!
1. good pedals
2. nice helmet
3. shoes will work but you will upgrade
4. Voler.com, nashbar, ebay...so ,many choices
5. if you want carbon these are cheap, light, and work

6. Cateye with speed and cadence will do fine, can be had cheap on ebay, but Garmin 200-500 can be had cheap with new releases out
7. personal choice on saddle bag, if you like then get a small one, if not lezyne caddy sack.
