I always recommend the Kona Dew (aluminum) and the Kona Smoke (steel).
(I have had one of each)
$350-$400
As my LBS says, they are "bombproof" bikes.

With the new, larger wheels available on the 2008 Smoke, I'd definitely be going for the Smoke. (steel, and it comes with fenders) My 2007 Smoke has 26 inch wheels, and I'm not complaining. But it is slower overall than my Kona Dew with the 700c wheels. (I rode the Dew in a triathlon, and was a studly babe for the biking leg. We won't talk about my performance in the swim and run legs...)
