Since this is a beginner bike I would like to find one in the 200 dollar range -used of course. But I would be willing to go up to about 500. My idea was to find a quality bike that fits and one that I can upgrade in the future if needed or get my money back out of ii if turns out to be something I am just not interested in. Oh - the goal is to do triathlons but only for fun. Of course I have no idea of the various line of bikes and what is high end and low end until I run across them and search them out on the web.
I'm origionally from MS too, but much further south than you. I grew up in Hattiesburg. When you say north, are you around Tunica? Tupelo? Clarksdale?
