My dad is looking to get into road biking... he's looking for a relatively cheap bike...
There's a bike at the local shop he's been looking at...
Raleigh AL frame
1" threaded carbon fork
shimano 600 gruppo...
the shop wants 600 for it.. I don't really know much about the value of road parts... how's the price sound?
He doesn't really have his heart set on the bike... he's just looking for something to ride that is decent. He says max of $400 (unless he goes for the raleigh...)... is there a different bike you'd recommend for a decent price? He doesn't really care about the gruppo, so shimano sora would probably work for him... all he's basically said is that he doesn't want downtube shifters...
Any suggestions?
He's 5'9"... so a 53cm? 54cm?
