Hi
I have been cycling with my buddy for about a year.
We try to ride as often as we can for fun as well as
for health benefits. We started with mountain/comfort
type bikes and have increased our rides from the original
10 mile ride up to 60 miles. We are now about to buy road bikes to help increase our speed and distance on our rides.
My question is how much improvement in our speed and distance can we expect. We are looking at buying the Schwinn
Super Sport Sl, 853 Reynolds, Triple (ultegra), and a somewhat relaxed geometry. This bike is about 21 lbs. with pedals compared to my current bike this is feather weight.
Do you feel a road type bike will be a big improvement for
us. Would appreciate your opinions before we spend the money
to hopefully improve our rides.
Thanks
Bill
