Fit...THis is a conversation that can last for days. Fit is the most important thing to remember, if it doesnt fit, you will hate it. In your proce range, compenents will either be sora, tiagra and if your lucky, 105 (entry level racing compenents) More then likely it will be an alumunium frame, "maybe" will have a carbon fork. I agree with Christi, ebay or craiglist can get you more for your $ or buying new, but you will have to bring it into a bike shop and get fitted (fitting is usually free if you buy from them) and I highly suggest a tune up (which are usually free if you buy from a LBS) I dunno what LBS are close to you.

From there I would start combing Craigs list and eBay for used bikes. You can get a really good bike for a smaller price.<br /><br />If you want some good bike reviews then check out roadbikereviews.com. That will get you onto the right components, etc. I suck at that type of thing. Too mechanical for me! :)<br /><br />Good luck in your shopping!Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335001280807576664noreply@blogger.com
