lol newbie to road biking... depending on fitness, and terrain you could instantly regret that decision. Higher gearing = death on hills.Hybrid is by far the most sensible choice. Failing that, a tourer/audax bike with a triple chainring, otherwise (as I said earlier) depending on terrain, and fitness... you will struggle to keep up the pace on the hills.I rode a friends double chainring road bike (claud butler one) a while back and christ... a more than slight incline in that in its lowest gear was infinitely more difficult to deal with.
