Thanks. That’s exactly what I was wondering about — the weight issue. I’m in the northeast, so corrosion is definitely a concern but I won’t be riding in the winter months. If the weight difference...

Some great info in this thread. I'm in pretty much this same situation. But I've recently been seeing some steel-frame hybrids and wondering what sort of riding situation this would be best...

CyclingBK, Just found this thread. I'm about the same age and trying to get back into this after 30+ years away, so your posts are inspiring. Once I can find the right bike that is. How do you like...

Thank you for totally misreading my post.

To continue your analogy, if you read my post, I wasn't asking if "every restaurant in the country regularly over cooks steaks." I was asking what to do...

Thanks to all who have given constructive advice. I definitely appreciate it.

I admit I missed the head tube crack and that's my bad. I also admit that I'm not the professional. But having worked...

Obviously you're a shop owner and want to defend these guys. I get that. I'm not saying all LBSs are like this. This was simply my experience, and since I'm in the market again, I need a new option...

Thanks for the advice. I'm getting back into cycling after 30+ years, and I'll be the first to admit I know next to nothing about the bikes today. So yeah, I bit it on that one, I admit it. But as...
