So I splashed out a little cash and bought myself, a $1000 roadie, its nothing flash but comes with Shimano 105 gear as standard which is great as the groupset alone is $800.
The seat is uncomfortable at the moment, the gears and brakes are way way way over there.
Sure the bike is heavier than anticipated but that's only going to make me stronger I guess. At the moment I've only ridden the short way to work which is 15km and hilly, Getting used to gears is a little strange as I am used to heaving the single-speed to work. I have to adjust the cables as they haven't stretched properly and the front derailleur is rubbing in certain ratios.
There is room for weight loss, I'm saving for a new mountain bike and car, so I will have to replace things as they wear out.
Hopefully, I will remember to take pics of the lookout at West Head when I get there.
