A Superb Starter Roadie
Coming from the mountain biking world I was interested into finding out what the fuss was about with road bikes, I didn't want to drop a grand on my first roadie so while searching the web I came a across this beauty. I have had this for just over and year of use with 1K+ miles, and I can say it was worth every single penny spent and saved. I use it on the daily basis for commuting 10 miles to college which is a very comfortable ride and also for longer runs when I feel like going for 30+ miles for a good work out. I cant really imagine going any further do to the vibration discomfort I get when I hit the 2 hours mark. I really like the compact frame which is strong and aero but the components is some what lacking; but in this price range you cant really complain. Within the year's use I ended up replacing a few things: The caliper brakes didn't cut it for me, the stem stripped after installing a new compact bar, and the wheels where only okay but decent for commuting. In all if your looking to get started for an extremely low price. This bike is it. If you know you want to get into road bikes, and can spend a couple more benjis, please do, Giantnerd has a good variety of Tommasos. A well worthy brand.

great shoe for the price!
This shoe is in the lower end of the price chain for bike shoes but it does not lack in quality or performance. The breathability is superb compared to most styles sometimes getting cold in very low temperatures. Walking can easily be done on all terrains with good protection of the cleat. Shimano never seems to let down!
