Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Quick Advice

Someone offered me a good deal on a Specialized Transition Multi-Sport 2005 bike and dont know anything about this bike. I am 6'1 210 pounds and do mostly touring type rides 30, 50 miles or so. The price is right buy I dont know anything about this bike.

THanks for any help

Not sure. That is why I was asking. Maybe you are right. Thanks

Entry level tri-bike. Not the right geometry for the more casual distance rider.
