Hey all. I am a student/military veteran at the University of Oregon. Just recently bought myself a Schwinn Ranger MTB at target and within a week realize I had made a mistake. It was obvious the assembler didn't care much. my heart was set on a road bike and I had bought a MTB. So today I went to an actually bike shop, Simple Cycle in Eugene OR (thanks Matty) and bought my,first ever road bike. Its a single speed but hey, I'm military, I don't take the easy route. I am super satisfied with the bike. I can rest assured I bought it from a reputable dealer which even allowed me to ride the bike first. I even get a free 30, 60, and 90 day tune up. I am super happy with the purchase. My wife convinced me to buy it even though it was above my budget. Dont you guys wish you had that problem: you try to budget personal purchases and your wife convinces you to spend more. Anyhow, hello. I am happy to finally be on a bicycle.

Hello Manny and Welcome to Bike Forums.

Nice Loop from there to Morro Bay, up through Lompoc and back via 101.

welcome to the forums

Hey Manny! Sounds cool, I'm sure you'll enjoy the road bike you got. A lot of folks love single speed bikes. And another thing, having a MTB on the side DOES come-in handy from time to time..

Enjoy...and thank you for your service. ; )
