Advice needed please...
I'm wanting to get back in the saddle for the first time in...ohhhh.... 20 years. Need to do some serious exercise and it looks less twatty than jogging. Now last time I rode a bike regularly, thinness and lightness were all, and Campag gears and Shimano brakes were lust objects. Saddles were cut from saddle leather and only yielded to your arse after approx 4 years of neatly bisecting your sac on the way to school. Brooks was it? Anyway, I am as unacquainted with today's bike market as Rafa is with letting it lie, so if I tell you knowledgeable types what I think I need, perhaps you can steer me in the right path?
I'll be looking to spend around 300-400 max, but I'll be taking the riding pretty seriously and clocking up miles , mainly on cycle paths and the local 'velodrome' type thingy. A mixture of 'take the kids out for a ride' and 'check me, Perico mark II' type stuff.
Muchas.
