haha! I'm on a steel bike now, too. Well, I would be if I got it out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Couple years ago I had a good weekend in Vegas so when I got home went out and bought a new ride. I bet I have under 500 miles on it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Yeah....well I used to be 170lbs and road 30-50 miles a day, 5 days a week.....then had knee surgery and then blew my achilles tendon.....balloon city.

I'm on my third day of riding and feel OK....the seat is from my old ride so that is not needed to be broken in...just my bony ass.....it needs to get used to being in the saddle again.

That Lemond is a sweet bike! Enjoy it!

Don't know of any road bike forums right now.

I have an old Univega Carbon tube bike with 105 I'm getting rid of. Just took delivery of my custom Mondonico Futura Leggero steel frame and chrome steel fork. No $ for a kit to build it up with right now. Can't ride it this season anyway. I'll be taking it easy on my thumb for a while. Needs to heal up good. I'll just drool over the frame for now after I rust proof it.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) I knew I wasn't the only cyclist...

Was a factory/grassroots rider for Litespeed, on the dirt, local sponsorship on the road. No job, toured the U.S. and lived in a van by the river! It was heaven, till I ran out of dough (two years) 300 miles was a easy week back then.

Now, I have a real job, commute by bike 120ish a week, and ride for fun on weekends.

I don't go online to talk bikes, but to get back "into" riding I suggest a local shop, and find out abour group rides in your area.

Ferg.

also, craigslist has a bike classified section, I have sold a few there.

The things we have in common. I bike too. My road bike, an Italian Gardini, is a nice bike but the roads are too rough to ride it on. I get neck problems after a couple of days riding. Now I just stick to my Trek mountain bike and bike the trails around here.

Well....now that you mention it.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Going down on a bike is like a motorcycle....it's NOT IF, it's WHEN....no hair on the legs helps on keeping the road rash cleaner.....heals a lot faster.....

The Bike sold on the SkyRat Board....I kept the Carbon Fiber wheels....so if anyone wants them....

I had recieved a bike about two christmases ago, and have maybe rode it like 5 miles. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Ok, Ok, so im lazy.

Anyway, I have been seriously thinking about riding my bike (for some time now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) to/from work. Although I live relatively close to work, I figured I would start with that, since going to work is all uphill. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I'm a newbe at this stuff. So, what type of clothing and helmet would any of your recommend?
