I'm doing a little looking online before my first "real" bike purchase and wondered where to look for real people's reviews of bikes.

I would like to know more about the Schwinn Le Tour GSW. I find lots of listings for the bike, but it's the same review everytime. Anyone have one of these bikes? Pros? Cons? Other bikes to recommend and where to check them out before I browse in person? I just don't want to be completely overwhelmed the first time I actually go to a bike shop.

I'm 5'9" and a frequent rider--I do lots of longer rides (20-40) plus 500-mile week long ride every summer.

Thanks!
