I don't know much about bikes either but Hippie was looking at a trek I believe-

My brother is overseas at the moment so it was just the two of us, I could give it a bit more without me brother LOL. We did 31.6 mile @ an average of 16.7mph. The last 13 mile we tagged along with a group Dad rides with sometimes when he is in Perth. They do 43 mile @ an average of 43mph (I think). I kept up with them so I am a little proud of myself considering it has been years since I was this interested in cycling. You guys probably don't need all this detail but I'm getting more excited with each ride, I want to make it my new hobby
I have to say my a$$ was killing me though. I rode bro's bike, the carbon one, nice bike and I like the position of his handle bars but he put the seat in a vice and sqeezed it so it is very rounded at the back. Suffice to say I will never ride his bike again, at least not with that seat. If all bike's were that uncomfortable I would go and buy bike shorts today. I will get some if I can make the rides a regular thing when the family is home.
