I joined the forum because I am looking at getting into road cycling , and possibly commuting. Do you experts have any recommendations on what I should get, I am 5' 10" with a 32 inch inseam. I want something that gives me the flexibility to throw gear on the bike to commute to work ( laptop bag or something of the sort) but also something that rides well when running on the road for a 50 km run or longer. I am also on a limited budget, I found a 02 Trek 2300 OCLV on Kijiji locally for $800 CDN but I'm not sure if that's something that would fit the bill. Also if I am looking at used bikes, what would be a reasonable price. I can see by reading some of the forums, I have a lot to learn lol.

Any recommendations on what I should be even looking for would be very helpful.

Cheers,

A
