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

Got my first road bike!

Hey guys i've been a reader on BF for a while now trying to soak it all in and I finally went out and pulled the trigger. Its an 08 Fuji Team. I have been thinking I was going to get an aluminum CAAD 9 but I went to my LBS and found this for a great price...I think! I paid 1199 for it brand new plus i got 150 dollars in store credit that is going to pay for clipless pedals and shoes that i'm planning on getting next week when they get my size. https://www.fujibikes.com/Road/CARBONRACE/Team.aspx



Does anyone have a good suggestion for a reasonably priced cyclocomputer and what should I be looking for in it?

Nice bike. I have owned, and loved, 3 Fuji road bikes in my life so far. I hope you enjoy yours as much.
