Help a noob out - new to the road bikes
Hi ya!
So I just bought me a nifty Barney Purple 85 SR300 in beautiful shape, going to take it down the the LBS (haha picked up some lingo trolling the forums) and have it tuned up - the rear wheel needs truing too. Went down to Rose Bowl last night and road around a couple of time - I love the way this bike rolls down the road!! I have been riding a inbred for the past 5 years and mt bikes off and on prior to that (mostly off since my last was stolen), but on the road bike I noticed that my palms get sore quite quickly. I was not wearing gloves I am going to pick some up today and bring my tools riding next time to work on any adjustments.
I would really appreciate any sage advise this forum has to offer...
