564.0. "Buying new bike...suggestions?" by CIMNET::BUSCEMI () Wed Mar 02 1988 12:53

    
    
    	Hi.  I'm thinking about buying a new bike and I need some
    	suggestions.  I haven't bought a bike in about 15 years 
     	(I'm still clunking around on my 35lb Schwinn Varisty).  I
    	need help on brand names, options I should get, where to
    	buy, etc.  I'm willing to spend between $350 - $400.  I would
    	be riding about 4-5 times a week, between 15 and 30 miles each
    	time.  I probably won't get into any serious racing but might
    	enter one every once in awhile.  I'm mainly looking for a good
    	way to get into shape.  I work in Marlboro, live in Leominster
        but would be willing to ride to say N.H. to purchase it.  Any
    	info and/or suggestions you can give me will be appreciated.
    
    					Thanks!

    You're in good company.  People in notes 371, 375, 442, 504, 541,
    and 548 asked practically the same question.  Check these notes
