Scandium Carbon
I am interested in buying my first road bike?
and am willing to spend 3k tops, a full carbon fiber frame or titanium frame is not necessary, I am not into racing, a scandium or any other less exotic material interests me, I would like carbon fork and seatstays, I am in good shape at 49years, weigh about 185, is a metal frame a good thing? not into prestige or the high cost of exotics, rather put the money in components, seems like an 18lb or less frame would be good for my weight.
under $3000.00
mountain climbing is a requirement where I live and downhill stability would be good, have a need for speed on downhills, thanks for the answers everyone.
Check out Bicycling magazine June July Aug issues. They have some good recommendations to start with at all different price ranges. At your price range you can get a really great bike. Even at half the price. I would t g to a bike shop or two or three and test ride some bikes. You may not be able to tell the difference in rides between the different frame materials but will get an idea of how the bikes ride for you. Different frame geometries will affect the ride. What type of riding are you planning to do? Where do you plan to do most of your riding? Hills? Do you want a quick handling more for bike or a stable slower handling road bike? Just some questions to get the correct ride. Mikes Bikes, REI, Cyclesports, The Missing Link, to name a few in the area with good selections and knowledgeable people. Performance have some good deals but you need to know what you want. Also getting fitted properly and have the bike set up properly after purchase.
