Yep. I went for it. Road bike. Trying to work a fitness routine into a commute...only a mile to work, but halfway there is access to a really big multi-use trail network. Wish me luck. I always got pitying looks during my only previous foray into riding a roadie. (T-shirt and visored helmet and mtb pedals, going much more slowly than others...)
It's one of these; got a 2013 leftover for a grand and it seems like a good deal. Should be here in a week or two.
I do need to get pedals. I think I'm just going to search out a set of the lightest Time ATACs I can. I know they're not the newest and best, but I've had a set going for 15 years with zero attention. If I turn into some kind of insane lycra-clad demon, perhaps I'll look at a set of roadie specific shoes then, but for now, I'll match my MTB.
(On that note, anyone have an old set of ATAC carbons laying around?? )
