For crying out loud, that is not the sole reason I want to move to a road bike - I did put an lol at the end talking about the guys passing me. I have to say I am surprised at the advice being given - why the assumption that my expectations are so unrealistic? That’s 3 posts in a row questioning my intentions instead of providing some advice that I was looking for in my OP.
I’ve been reading on this forum a lot to learn as much as I can so I can make an informed decision on what bike to buy and how to go about it in a few months, but the search feature is not the best here. I’ve seen similar posts where folks were actually helpful by saying check out this bike or that one.
You guys are a bit of a buzzkill with your assumptions- except for you Jarret2.
