If you want a racy performance-oriented bike that is classic and has comfort, the PX-10 is a great bike.

I live less then 2 miles from Assenmacher's. I stopped in last w/e, but they hardly ever have anything used. I mtb. w/ one of the guys when time allows, so I asked him & one of the other employees to keep their ear open for something if a customer is ready for a "new ride".

As for the PX-10, it is way more than I would like to spend. Please don't flame me, but if I am going to spend that much, I will probably buy a newer bike. In no way am I knocking the older bikes, I just know technology has come a long way. I was interested in an older bike due to not knowing just how much road riding I will do.

I would hate to spend $3-400+ on a road bike for it to sit & collect dust.

After talking to OFG this evening, I am going to see what I can do with my old Raleigh Capri in making it fit. It may be a touch small, but if I can spend under $50.00 it may tell me if looking for a better fitting bike is worth it. I will continue to keep my eye's open for that GREAT deal, but not search day & night worying about it.

Thank you to all, & IF you come across a deal near me you won't mind passing on with a finder's fee, please let me know.
