So I bought a road bike today
After years of riding BMX I finally decided to road biking.
Anyways, bike will not come in until Thursday but it is a 2011 Giant Defy 1 w/105 parts carbon seat stay, and fork. http://products.fusionpos.com.au/med...9841_40766.jpg Does anyone else ride? |
Yep Trek Madone 5.5 with Ultegra components. Been at it about 7 years now, very addicitive. Good luck with the bike. I have a Giant TCR also with 105s that I rode over 16k miles with no issues.
|
I just got back into road biking after a 25 year hiatus. It's been great!
I grabbed a specialized roubaix comp (not sure of the spelling), and it's awesome. |
I looked at the Roubaix but the small was still a little big at 53.7CM and I am only 5'5 so I went with the small Giant.
|
It's all about the fit, I think. You'll be totally psyched with the Giant if you have the fit dialed in. That's a great bike.
Also, if you don't have them, invest in good biking shorts! |

^^ Sweet bike, I thought of getting a fixie or a single but I thought I would give this a try first and maybe down the road get a single speed.
|
Nice bike. I saw those when I was shopping for mine a few weeks ago....Its definitly an addictive sport, everyday I go further and further :giggle: I did 18 mi this am which is a LOT for me :D
|
I've got a Felt F55 Road and Q520 Mountain bike...havent done a century yet but have done quite a few 60+mile rides. Waiting for cooler weather again.

My brother is doing an ironman tomorrow; I'll have to see what bike he uses. All I remember is I could lift it with my pinkie with ease. The half ironman he did a couple months ago he used a Schwinn Varsity which was a really awesome bike.
Currently I've been using a Schwinn Avenue Hybrid, and it's an amazing bike compared to the Magnas I had. I used it in my last triathlon and the only complaint I have was the handlebars came loose halfway through. I recommend getting a cheap tachometer to pace yourself and measure distance. You can get them for $8 at a cycle shop and zip tie it to your bike, or if you're baller you could just get a GPS watch. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...28_500X500.jpg In action: http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2..._7931756_n.jpg |
