Well, since I started working, I have started getting heavier.. I hate the boredom of working out but thought about getting an elliptical trainer to burn some calories. Lookaed around and was looking at $800
Than I had a great idea (or so I thought). Why not get a bike and enjoy the outdoors… And then put the bike on a trainer for the winter.. (good idea..?)
Anyway, I strolled down to the local dealer and did some test rides.. He cot me on a Cannondale F300 $530 And I thought it was pretty nice.. He asked if he could ring it up but I said I better think about it first (and get a second opinion). I asked a buddy and he recommended a $1500 specialized, but that is way out of the question.
To get to the point, I am wondering what will be the best bang for my buck while staying in the $500-$550 range?
I am 5.5ft 160LBS 28yrs and will riding around town some, but more on trail in lake champlain/adirondaks area. Not looking to kill myself w/ 7ft dros or big air… so I just need enough for moderate offroading…
What do ya think..?
