Hi, I'm Gavin I'm 36 and i'm an alco.... sorry, just bought my 1st road bike. It's a langster but dont hold that against me :). I've not yet done any great amount of riding on it yet, but Im hoping this will help me get back in shape and give me a renewed enjoyment in riding.
I've been riding xcountry since getting my 1st mountain bike when I was 12 but have never felt the appeal of riding solely on road until I ran across this forum a year or two back. I was intrigued by the idea of a stripped down bike for all the benefits it gives, but due to illness and new spawn didnt have the funds to partake.
Thats now change for the better (still ahve the kids though ;)) so I've invested in a half decent steel bike and off I go.
waffle over.
later bitches
