So my boyfriend and I are thinking about getting into cycling and we have no idea where to start. I have done some research suggesting Cannondale and Specialized are good brands for road bikes. We both have a budget of $700-$1000 for each bike. Any recommendations or help will be extremely appreciated!!
FYI, both of us have biked before in the past but neither of us have biked for many years nor have we ever used road bikes. Also, we both live in Seattle and we hope to bike all around the area. Thanks!
toss Trek into your search, now is a good time to look with 2015's coming out you can find a deal on a 2013 or 2014 model. With Trek I would look for a closeout special on either a 1.5 or 2.1 for him. For her the Lexa SL or Lexa SLX is a great women's specific design. Cool thing about these models is they are a slightly more relaxed position (H2 for him, H3 for her). Any way you do it, stretch your dollar and get a 2013 model if possible! Good luck!
