Looking for a "New" Road Bike

[DocZan89]

I'm sure I'm not the only person to ask this question nor will I be the last. I got back into cycling this past fall after a 15 year hiatus. Bought a Trek Neko S Dual Sport (16" frame) for trail riding with my husband and group of friends. Now I want to get back into road cycling. My road bike is about 20 years old and is very heavy. Looking for a new/gently previously owned road bike. I am 5'2" and weigh about 115 lbs. Any suggestions for an entry/mid level bike that won't break the bank, i.e. $600 - $1200 range?

Thanks,

Rosanna
