ggg300,

When do you think the OCR3's will come down? I may have to go to another bike shop and look.

53-11 alltheway,

I read your posts on the cycling shorts and I'm with you. I don't want to wear tights either. BTW, your posts in that thread were rollin' me

About the tri, I would have loved it more if I would have beaten them too. BUT, there were people that I was passing on the run part and the second a dropped myself on the Roadmaster, everybody was passing me up and I mean EVERYBODY! I have to laugh about it though. It was pretty punk.

To all,

Seriously, I want to get a road bike and I'm leaning towards the Raleigh. My LBS's don't have the Sport. The one that carries the Raleighs just have the Grandsport. The LBS where I saw the OCR3 is a real small one. Judging from the way he was talking, I doubt the guy will come down that much. He kept saying that the bike is about $600. It's just him and his son behind the counter.

All three of the owners of my LBS's say that at entry level, all bikes are generally the same. It's when they get to the passed $1K level that it matters according to them. I don't know how much truth there is to that statement. How much truth is there in your opinions?
