    What kind of bike are you looking for dubbsy?

    Somewhere between a hybrid and road (either end considered as well).

    I'm thinking I may just go pick up the Trek that's on sale at Scheels. Price is right and I'll see if I put enough miles on that to convince myself to go straight road bike.

    Paramount has some stuff left. I found one there I really liked but for the pros/cons between the two I'm looking at right now, I'd rather go $70 cheaper at Scheels.

      well FWIW, went with Scheels. It'll be a decent bike to get started again. If I find myself putting the miles on it I'll look at closeout road bikes this fall (or the mid-year sell-off I hear happens)

        Do you remember the name? I can tell you if he works there still. We've had quite a few guys "move on". They dont get fired but they find a reason to leave pretty quick. The 2 guys i can think of where complete tools... if i had a bad experience with either of them id share your sentiment.

            Wasn't exactly what I wanted, but the price was right.

              There was one guy in there the first time I went to look at bikes that I didn't like. Guy I bought the bike from was decent as were some of the older guys I talked to.

                How tall are you? I might know of some more than decent used by Pro/1/2 riders for road bikes. IF you decide to go that route you should let me know.

                      If you don't mind a little dirt, we do some biking right behind our apartments. It's nothing spectacular but if I only have a little bit of time it beats hauling ass down to the river for some change of terrain.

                              Off pavement yes, mud no. It's pretty dry and loose topsoil, makes for a little bit of resistance. Beats getting ran into by cars or not being able to cross a road because people don't know what white lines before an intersection are for.

                                  That 7150 is most definitely a road bike, not really meant for anything other then pavement.
