I've been riding bicycles now for almost fifty years and have been some kind of bicycle tech geek for almost forty years; bicycles work much better when you understand and appreciate them.
I've had both road bikes and ATBs. My current rides are eleven year old Cannondale F700 and Fuji Roubaix triple with Shimano 105 gruppo; they are the best and most suitable bikes for my purposes I have ever owned. For a variety of reasons, I am coming off of a nine or ten year riding hiatus. Getting a couple of hours a week in riding and am happy to see skills and strength/endurance coming back. It's great to be riding in the northwoods Spring again; bicycles are faster than mosquitoes and black flies!
A question to open things up: anybody have actual ownership/riding experience (no secondhand opinions, please) on the Motobecane Tawainese road bikes available from bikesDirect.com? The Century Pro has caught my eye and now threatens my wallet.
So, Welcome to Bicycle-Fi. And you thought Head-Fi was hard on your wallet!
