Hi all,
I've recently taken up cycling a cross-training for my primary sport of stillwater rowing.
I aboslutely love cycling and Ive decided to purchase a bike but am in need of some helpful advice as to what type/brand would best suit my purposes.
At the moment im only doing 2-3hr cycles but will eventually end doing 6 hrs cycles at least once a week if not more in order to build endurance.
Im 170cm (5'6 5'7)tall and weight 55kg (121 lbs) if that helps at all?
I cycle both on the flat and through steep hills/valeys so would need gearing that suits both.
Thanks for your time,
Kind Regards,
Heather

and what is the terrain you ride on like?

I ride on roads (fairly smooth bitchumen surfaces) and am looking to spend no more than $2000 Australian.0

A road bike will suit you purposes ideally. Anybike needs to be tested first, so trip to a good local shop would be my recommendation. Also try posting this in the road section. Specialized Allez is one suggestion.0
