In April of this year I finally hit rock bottom with my health and weight. I was a staggering 389 pounds at only 5'9".. Yeah... I was beyond out of shape! I joined a local boot camp class and over the span of 20 weeks (today), I have dropped to 309lbs. For the last two months I've been riding a Airborne Goblin 29er and lately I've been wanting to buy a road bike.
This will be my first road bike. Can you please give me your thoughts on the Motobecane Super Strada linked above? How does Motobecane frame/fork quality stack up to other more common brand bikes like Cannondale, Trek, Specialized etc?
I know this bike uses the Ultegra components which are exceptionally good. The only items I'd probably change on the bike would be Ultegra crank and brakes and carbon bars, stem and saddle post.
Anyhow, Just wanted to get some thoughts on this bike.. Is there any other options that provide a better package for the money?
Thanks,
- Scott
