Hi all,
I know this is a running board, but after a year long bout with PF, I'm giving up completely on the running for a while and want to invest in a good touring bike. I do NOT want to spend the money on a racing bike, as I am poor (graduating college student) and want to be able to use the bike for some good trips in the future.
My budget is not high (1000 dollars, max) and I am not having luck with local shops stocking touring bikes.
Any suggestions on fairly local shops (boston, etc) and bikes for me?
thanks :)
ps. I'm female, and fairly petite (5'4"/115) if this affects my options.
MUCH APPRECIATED
