Gear Talk / What kind of bike?

« on: October 01, 2012, 11:59:18 pm »

So I'm looking to buy a better bike. I stopped in the bike store and almost bought a 2012 Salsa Casseroll. Can any experts let me know whether this bike is one of the better bikes I can get for a price range of $1000 or below (it was on sale). I am open to buying either a new or used bike. I just need the best bike I can for the price range. Something that can carry a larger load (planning to do Transamerica next summer) and something that will be the most comfortable on long rides. Please, if anyone has any recommendations please let me know!! THANKS

General Discussion / Looking for help planning my trip.

So next summer I want to make my dream a reality and bicycle across the country. However, I have no one to go with and don't think it would be wise going by myself considering it is my first time ever attempting the ride. So I am really in need of finding some mentors I can pedal along with. I am also open to joining up with other people who may be heading out for their first time as well. Any help would be appreciated!
