Do You Road Bike?

"Smaller" is a relative term, but it works just fine in my relatively hilly suburban neighborhood...

From Shimano: "Based on the extensive research, Shimano’s designers created a bicycle component group that is simple, comfortable, affordable and easy to use. The Coasting group is geared specifically for the rider who wants to coast rather than climb. It features an automatically shifting 3-speed system designed for casual riding, and includes a computer that shifts gears as the rider increases or decreases the bike’s speed. The component group also includes a coaster brake, which allows the rider to brake by pedaling backward rather than with a hand brake lever. The automatic shifting technology is hidden, and the experience is designed around the user’s needs."

If interested, you can come ride it around for a bit.
 
Anyone into cyclocross? just got me one and trying to figure out where to ride in the east bay.
 
How can I adjust the play out of Shimano 105 levers? The left to right of the gear shifting is fine but the brake part of the lever has a little play. Only the right rear brake lever has the play in it.

If there is play in that lever and nothings broken then the cable is getting caught somehwhere. Even if something is broken the brake caliper should pull the lever back.

Is there a different site besides CL where I can get a bike for cheaper? I have my own kick-ass CAAD9-5 but want to get my pops a similar bike in 50cm. He wants to ride with me but don't want to spend too much. Looking for minimum "105" gruppo. Willing to spend $500-700

I bought this one for $800 2 years ago. It was a steal at this price.
