I have figured if that is all I can afford I am better just sticking with my FX 2 for a few years till my financial situation improves, unless the Kent would ride better on paved surfaces and roads than my hybrid. I do live in an area with a lot of small hills. The Hybrid is Aluminum this road bike is steel..

Thoughts?
A bike is only as fast as the person who is riding it. And heavy steel bikes get a lot more momentum going downhill.
