Nice looking wheels MBC!<br /><br />It will take over your life!<br /><br />I only bought a road bike for the same reasons. I was living in California, and I wanted to do better on the Leadville Trail 100 MTB race, and I realized that road riding was the way to fitness. I used to hit I80 through Nevada, cut down to Moab, and zoom along I70 every summer... Ahhh the good old days!<br /><br />Anyway, there's much more knowledge about training in the road riding scene. I went from 13 hours for Leadville, to 9:15 the next year. I would have been faster if I had had ANY off road skills left!<br /><br />I just got totally adicted to cranking down the road head down, hands locked under the brake hoods at 25 or more mph.<br /><br />The feeling of riding in a paceline at 30mph is just supreme. The last few times I have been off road I've hated the jarring and stop-start nature of the riding.
Hi Mtb Chk, <br />I'm a Mtb Bloke, just bought myself a Roadie, for a bit of variety during the week. Iwent for the Scott Expert, it cost 545 pounds (sorry don't know what that is in $). It's Shimano Sora Equipped and rides like a dream. I'm about 5'10" so I had a medium, so a small might fit? it's got quite a short top tube so who knows?<br />Still keep the faith on the Mtb on the wet weekends here in Wales, difference is I now kill everyone on the climbs!<br />Ride on.
