Hello

I'm a rookie here on this forum, but not new to the sport. Although I have been out of the sport for a while as I was spent a lot of time in my earlier days riding my earlier Trek. Now that I'm planning to get back into the sport I want to get new equipment. One manufacture I have been looking at is Dean Titanium Bikes. I have heard of the Serotta's & Seven's, guys have been telling me about as they say you're paying for their name and padding their egos, I'm not willing to pad their egos. I want a quality bike which I don't have to give royalties to just to have their name on it. So if you can kindly give my some opinions and pros & cons of the Dean Bikes or what you know or have heard of them.

Bob
