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

Schwinn Circuit?
Hi all, any opinions on this bike? Does anyone know how much it weights? I want a decent entry level road bike that's non-department store. This seems like a good pick. For me, mainly for city riding with some rought roads. Not more than 30 miles at a time 2-3 times a week (I would say btw 5-15 miles).

Thanks..

Ah. I'd look for something with Shimano Sora or Tiagra components.
