Hey all,
So, to supplement my MTB I decided I'd like to get into road riding. Not at any competitive level but enough so I could do something like the Trek Across Maine or the Dempsy Challenge. It would be great to ride to work. Also, everyone says that the weight comes off like nothing when you ride road.
I know that demoing is key and here is what I have found so far:
2011 Specialized Allez Comp (left over from last season) - has Sram Apex stuff
2012 Trek 1.2
2012 Trek 1.5
2012 Trek 2.1 - Priciest option so far.
I'd love to keep it around $1k or slightly under if possible.
Any thoughts are appreciated. There are 4 good shops in a 20 mile radius that I would check out.
