Hi all. Just wanted to say thanks for such a great site. I am thinking of buying a road bike and have been reading the forums for a couple of weeks - what an absolute gold mine of info, reviews, and advice it is. Really friendly too; on the newbie forum everyone is welcoming with no patronising or snarky comments.
I am not even sure I will commit to buying a bike as I'm a bit daunted by the traffic round here, but I am really enjoying reading the forums and the enthusiasm is contagious.
Update: in the end I bought a 2007/8 Giant TCR C3 carbon road bike from Shpock. Very happy with it. So light and fast. Pedal twice and it goes around around 200 yds. Haven't used the gears yet, but once I take the stabilizers off I think it will really shift.
