I am clueless when it comes to sports equipment but luckily my husband is not. When I was looking for a bicycle to ride with him on the centeniall trail and around our home (dirt roads) he took me to get a Specialized. It's tougher than a regular street bike, but still handles easy enough for dinking around with my niece and nephews. It looks great too. I'm fairly abusive to it, not necessarily in how I ride it, but by tossing it in the back of my truck and hauling it around. I just started training for a duathlon and even though it's not ideal for the situation it's still comfortable enough to train on for short distances (like a sprint or even an olympic). I probably wouldn't do a half ironman or ironman on it though.
Specialized Hardrock Sport Bike is recommended by sydnew
