hahahahaha

umm im in the same situation right now. My dad said since youve been mountain biking all these years and you wanna road bike now you may not like it and everything altho i claim that i really like it as ive done it. Well he said he wont let me buy a $1200 new road bike that i wanted. So i was pissed so I started looking around for a used road bike. Found one thats mint, 6 yrs old with 600 ultegra for 400bux+tax (15%) so 460bux. He said i could buy that bike and start off of it and see how I like it.
