Need some help with a selection here...
I cross trained for the XC race season with a bit of road last year and had some success with it. This year I want to ramp that up to about twice as much.
My current bike is an old Cannondale from 1998. It's okay for 150is miles a week, but I want to nearly double that so I'd like something a little better, that rides smooth and handles well enough to flow with groups when I find myself in them.
I have some well priced bikes here, let me know what you think... remember, it doesn't need to be cutting edge or fancy in the least... just needs to be comfortable and capable. I'm leaning towards the steel Allez.
