Bicycle Shops are EXPENSIVE


If you are looking to get yourself into a 'real' bicycle that isn't from K-Mart, than go to




I took a couple months of searching and worrying and searching and worrying to find our that this place was the best deal for the price. Pretty solid equipment for reasonable (comparitvely). The bikes are not Treks or Cannondales, but the price is fucking spectacular and usually the components are pretty good. I told the guy in the bike shop about the deal I found on this site, and he told me that I'd be stupid not to get my bike from the website.

Above, is the entry model: $369
Did I mention free shipping???


Just as an idea.... I walked into a couple (7 to be exact) bike shops and asked what the starter model would be in my size. The cheapest I could find was $900. Fuck that. You can get a decent road bike on that website for $350 - $400. "Sora" are the worst components and "DuraAce" are the best. I'm pretty sure that mine are Ultegra/105 mix. Customer service was SICK and the bike came really quick.


I could be down for either the 35mi or the 55mi.... or more. You know me, I'm down for a little punishment.
UPDATE: I just saw the map. We should do the 55 mi loop. THis way we get a good ride through Brooklyn. The Bronx and Queens I could do without, but Brooklyn will be where it's at.
Jon, the NYC duathlon is Oct 5th in Central Park. Most likely Steve and myself will be doing it. Just FYI.
