Hello Guys! Firstly a little about myself. Born in Perth, WA, live here and born in '97. Soccer Player looking to get into cycling for fitness and fun. ON A BUDGET! I have recently discovered that cycling will be great for me since i play soccer and it is a great way to keep fit and explore the outdoors! My Dad passed an old Repco Spectra Road bike down from him to me, its a great bike, made of steal, very strong and sturdy with a nice Shimano SIS drivetrain. Road Bike wise, i also have an Indi 500 Bike Frame. (Also My Dad's) Should i make it better and use the Repco as a wet weather bike? I have been thinking of getting a better bike but since i'm new, don't know where to start! I recently read an article in UCA about the Specialized S - Works Mclaren Venge but this is well out of my budget! I have a budget of $1500 but it can vary. I have 2 Malvern Star Mustang Mountain Bikes and man they are good. I also have 2 Mongoose BMX's plus a Huffy BMX. This is a list of the manufacturers i have been considering: (In that order) Pinarello BMC
Malvern Star Please, you guys are the pros, so if you have anything for sale (WA), any manufacturers which i should consider and any information on bikes themselves then please reply! Also drivetrain wise, I will religiously ONLY HAVE SHIMANO!!! although i want to know what you guys think of campagnolo Thankyou

The inspector at the heart of the public enquiry into the proposed BRT link donned his crash helmet and took a bike ride along the controversial route.and the simple, unassuming bicycle,the most efficient form of urban transportation ever invented,can be a powerful solution.

For getting into better shape, brand means nothing. You can ride a cheap huffy, and while it may not hold up and the brakes may be dangerous, as far as getting in shape goes, it makes no difference if it's a walmart bike or a Venge. You can get to your aerobic threshold at 15mph on a heavy cheap bike or 18mph (whatever) on a Venge.
