Subject: How will a new bike affect my time? OK, a preface, I know if I lose more of my own weight (already down to 210 from 300, so it's getting more and more difficult ) and train harder my bike times will improve, but....
Given all things being the same, if I were to lose my 15 yr old Schwinn Voyageur and move to say a Cervelo One or Felt S32 bike (something in the $1000-$1300 range ) how much could I expect my time to improve. I just finished a fairly flat, somewhat rolling 11 mile course at an average of 18.5 mph ). Did a very hilly 12 mile last month in about 49 minutes, or 14.5 mph, but wasn't pushing as hard as it was my first.
So, any thoughts? Guidance? |
