First Bike, any thoughts?

[Jenn]

Thank you all so much! I'm so happy to have found this forum! There is sooo much wonderful information here!
We get the cycling magazine and I looked through all the reveiws and there are some that I like and want to go try and ride. Being a stay at home mom with a 1 year old on military pay, my budget is somewhat limited so that narrows the margin in a BIG way. Not to mention, everything else I have to get. I was pretty big into mountain biking in my single younger days but I definately enjoy road biking more now. Until I find one, I'll just keep spinning, which I like but it's better to be outside.
Thank you all again for the advice, we are going to go to some different shops this weekend, maybe we'll get some better sales people. That is what they are there for right?? To SELL not to chase off...
Thanks again!

Take a look at the new womens specific Raleighs...

The 2.0 goes for around $900 and the 1.0 for $625. Raleigh is trying to get into the women's market and they are pretty decently priced for the specs.
We've had a couple of them in our shop and we can't keep them in stock.
