So, me being in my super-crack-head, bike buying frenzy that i am in, have bought myself a roadie! 
I was re-building the old school raliegh from the sixties(and im still going to finish it, just for nastalgic purposes), but went 21st century! I bought a two year old raliegh competition(?.. im feeling retarded cuz i thought that something else was in there with the name?) anyway, its got an upgraded wheel set and components(its at the fire station cuz we have one of those things that you train on!). Its pretty light and really fast!!! especially compared to my one-speed!! lol... but anyway, im officially part roadie now! i still have not bought the spandex yet though... im gonna have to work my way into that!! lol.. i spent $700 and am told that i got a really good deal considering the compnents that are on it!! Dont ask cuz i dont remember whats on it! lol So, im having fun riding it, but im waiting for the neck pain to go away!!! i guess its from being in such a low position and lifting my head up so high to see! OUCH!! im running shimano pedals and my mtn bike shoes though... worse cornering, i know, but im not made of cash and didnt want to buy a new set of shoes yet.... at least my mtn shoes are pretty stiff! so, now i just need to find a group of guys(or girls!!! :-D ) that will ride with me! it'll prolly be a while before i can really keep up with a bunch of folks that ride all the time! lol.... anyway, thought that i would share! 
im having a lot of fun so far!
