Yeah... the 2014s are sexy, and the technology improvements seem worth the wait and extra cost. I'm also looking at the F series... just so many damn options for bikes.
Though I'm a cycling noob, I don't think (and am hoping) it will take too long to get into the swing of things. I've been an avid rollerblader since I could walk, so I have the endurance aspects of cycling down... that's not the worry. I'll need to focus mostly on form and etiquette.
So, that said, I want a bike I can keep for awhile and only have to upgrade a little, versus a starter bike that I'll have to upgrade quite a bit.
I live in Chicago so the season is quickly coming to an end... I might just wait to see how my incentive pay plays out this year and the AR could be a nice Christmas gift to myself...
