Hi everyone!
I'm 47 yrs. old , 6'3" and weigh in at 190 lbs. I'm fairly fit having just completed my first Marathon last fall. I love fast cars as I do fast bikes. I've cycled the past 2 yrs. while overcoming an achilles tendon problem and grown to love it. I currently own a Specialized Allez Elite triple with 105 components and would now like to upgrade components or bikes. I live in a hilly area and never use the third ring. With all that said should I uprade my existing bike with new wheel set and components or am I just throwing money out the window?
As far as bikes go it's hard not to like the reviews the Cannondale six13's are getting. I think price wise I'd probably like to spend in and around the $4000. range which puts the Pro 1 or 2 on the short list. The other bike I've had mentioned to me is the Trek Madone though I don't know to much about this bike? Do any of you experts have any advice and or recomendations that might help me?
Thanks
