Too bad. Come out if your plans change at all. These things are usually a lot of fun.

I've been making some plans for the CF. Stay tuned.

Generally people sell nice stuff at 50% off of new and generally barely used. Also it's not like cars or electronics, where they go out of date quickly. I have 10 year old bikes that ride 99% as well as the modern stuff.

I wouldn't throw a ridiculous amount of money at your first bike, because you'll learn things about how you ride and how you feel on a bike, while using your first bike. That could easily mean you wasted a lot of money buying a super expensive bike that doesn't work for you, or you might find yourself not so in to riding.

You can read a lot on the 'net but it doesn't really compare to experience. I had a hard time getting something and buying the right thing, even after days of reading up. When I eventually got an idea of what I wanted, I went to the bike store and bought a new bike because I wanted the service and assistance of a shop. As I get more experienced and become more savvy, I'll definitely be buying used... especially road bikes which go for a fraction of the original price.

gotcha bosses
