while i've been regularly doing 5,8, and 10k's the last few months, next year i want to step it up to half marathons and sprint triathalons. problm is i don't have a bike. looking for a good condition road bike or mountain bike to practice on. i'd probably rather keep the price around $500 if not less. not sure what i could get for that, but figured it's worth a shot.

thanks!

there's always something for sale

make sure you know your size first, though.

You'll need to get fitted for a bike. You don't want sore knees, lower back pain, foot numbness, etc.

Size matters. You'll probably want a 56-59. I'll give you a women's skinny tire bike with 10 speeds that's NOS - works great.

I've got a '97 Klein Quantum Pro for sale, too big for you 63cm. I'd sell my Cannondale carbon '07 Six/13 as well.

No, I'm not a dealer-just a bike nut.<ul><li><a href="http://www.coloradocyclist.com/bikefit/">clicky</a></li></ul>

while i had a bike 6 years ago, it's been long gone. whenever i ride now (rarely other than at the gym) i borrow a friend's bike.

i suppose i could/should hold off until the spring to buy a bike when i can really start training outdoors for that portion of it. i'd be able to spend more money then as well.

I can always give a little AW hook up. $1300 will get you a pretty good bike these days for someone thats getting into it, but don't cheap out of shoes and pedals. We have a few 56 cm Canondale CAAD8 bikes left too. Or some Roadwarriors if you want a flat bar roadbike thats a little cheaper.

If you go that route check us out, the best in the midwest.....<ul><li><a href="http://www.getagripcycles.com">http://www.getagripcycles.com</a</li></ul>

Everyone on a road bike needs to get fitted, regardless of how serious you take it.
