I could use some advice from more experienced cyclists. I've got a 1987(I think) Univega that I'm hoping to replace very soon. I've done SOME research, but no test rides. My LBS doesn't have bikes my size to test ride. (I'm 5'3")

The Specialized WSD look good, as do the Trek WSD...but the LUNA's look AMAZING! (not to mention expensive) But hey, I'm worth it! I want my new bike to fit me so well and so comfortably that I want to be on it all the time! Initailly, I thought my $ limit would be about $1400, but I'm starting to reconsider in favor of a more expensive model.

I guess my real question here is, for those of you wo have had a variety of road bikes, what would you recommend? Is it like computers...by the most expensive one you can afford?

Please advise soon, 'cause the roads are calling me!! Thanks!
