I am looking for a few people that ride regularly on weekday pm?

Hi,

I am in the market for a new bike. I am looking at the (1) Cannondale Synapse Carbon 6 OR (2) Giant Defy Composite 3. In terms of price, I can purchase (1) at REI for $1899 and (2) at Toga Bike for $1850.

My main requirement is that the bike should offer a comfortable ride -- especially on long rides on bumpy roads.

I understand that it depends on fit. So I'll test ride both bike.

For now, I am wondering given the specs on the bikes, and your experience, what are your suggestions? pros/cons?

Thanks!

  With all of the B rides from Saturday riding Sunday and low sign up I am cancelling tomorrows ride.  Will reschedule.

The B SIG will begin tomorrow at 8:30 instead of 9:00.

Same start location:  The Ramble Shed in Central Park

Starting a half-hour early last week seemed to work, so we'll try it again this week.  Again, if you have a rain jacket or shell, please bring it, as well as a fender if you have one.

See you in the Park,

Wayne

Hello, Do any of you know any good books etc to help me learn about a road bike, what each part is and all about a road bike. Many thanks

EVEREST TRAINING RIDE #1:  THE BERGEN ALPS

Spring is here and time to start training for the Everest
Dodecamillenium.  Only 10 more months!  We'll start with wind sprints

ADVANCED TWO-HOUR BICYCLE CHECK.

Lift your bike six inches off the ground. Drop it.  If nothing falls

I am refurbishing my bicycle and need to replace the brake and Derailler cables and housing.  I have asked at a few bike stores and they give me varying prices.  I think it is important that they are installed properly [I will be providing the cables and housing].  Can anyone recommend a good place to do this that is not so expensive.
