So, I have committed to ride my first century in September. I have always been primarily a runner who would occasionally break out the bike if I was running late for work. I am not entirely sure what I was thinking, but I wanted to set myself a challenge
Now that I am fully committed and have begun riding daily, I am realizing that this is going to be really, no joke, hard. I have begun to do some research with thought of replacing my old bike or improving it to be more suited to the task.
I am currently riding a late 80s/early 90s Raleigh Technium Olympian hybrid (more or less in good shape). I can't spend much more than $1000. What is my best bet?
1) Should I spend the money on a new bike? And if so, what would you suggest?
2) Would it be more cost effective to improve what I have?
Thanks folks!
