new bike research
I am in the very preliminary stages of looking for a new road bike. 8 years
ago, when I researched and than bought the bike I have, I had a number of websites and other references to read and look at to help me decide what type of frame, components etc. Well 8 years have past and I have no idea where to go to start looking into things. Any suggestions (web sites, magazines etc) would be greatly appreciated. I used a site that allowed me to list each bike and it's stats right next to each other for comparison. Anyone run across that lately? Thanks |

Anyone run across that lately? Thanks I don't know of a web site like that. If you can't find one and want some word of mouth advice, a good place to start might be to state what you are riding now, how much you ride and what you do and don't like about your present bike. When I was looking for a new bike, I relied on good local retailer websites since I intended to buy locally if I could that time. It seems that a lot of them have the same source for their websites and have their inventory searchable by price, type of bike, etc. From those websites and occasionally the manufacturer's sites, I learned enough about components and pricing to make up my mind. |
