Hello,
It has been a long time since I rode a bicycle. Probably the mid 1980's. Had a beautiful Italian 10 speed. Wish I could remember what brand it was! Metallic light blue, swift nimble and a puncture magnet. Anyway I've decided I need to get some cardio and not knowing if this feeling would stick, I looked around for used bikes but was unsuccessful. Decided that the Mongoose Hotshot 700c was a good price and size. I know I need to get back up to speed on riding and handling. I can say the seat is very uncomfortable. Considering the bike for possible upgrades but I will wait at least until the return period is done. Any ideas on good ideas to do to it, like having a local shop grease it up. Seems fairly well setup.
Also the bike seems unstable at first. Possibly the time and a new higher center of balance doesn't help it's flow!
Any assistance or advice appreciated!
Cheers
