hello, im looking to buy a spinning stationary bike, one of the expensive ones .. what are the top brands etc?
Answer
Get an entry level road bike and install it on an indoors trainer. That will allow you to take it out when the weather is nice.
The stationary bikes are heavy and much more expensive than a decent road bike.

Hi I am looking to buy a road bike. I have been riding and racing mountain bikes for years and have never been on a road bike. Last week I took my friends road bike for a spin and now I am hooked. I am looking to buy an entry level road bike. I want a bike with components that are better than tiagra preferably 105 or better. I am looking to spend as little as possible on the bike. I am thinking like 800 to 1000 however if I see something way better for like 100 or 200 more would do it obviosly if i can get what I want for less that would be better So im looking for suggestions on what to buy thanks
Answer
There are a lot of cool road bikes in the $1000-1200 range that you really might like. Here are some ideas for you.
FELT's F85 - Aluminum frame w/ 105 component set. Has a short wheelbase for quick handling. Classic geometry.
TREKS 2.1 - Aluminum frame w/ a mix of 105 and Tiagra and FSA components. A little more upright than some other roadbikes, so not a racer but really good for crosstraining with your buds.
GT GTR series 3 - Aluminum Frame, Sora components. Also more of an upright and "comfort" ride compared to other road bikes with its short top tube.
MARIN Venezia - Aluminum frame/ Tiagra/Sora components, tight wheel base, with a short top tube so it is easier to find a nice comfortable position, and a decreased head-tube angle, so no funny business while descending. An excellent first road bike probably.
Almost all of these bikes have an older brother with a component upgrade.... but you'll pay much more money.
