No, like Mimi said, you can find plenty in that range and get lots of miles out of it, too!

Visit a few LBS's and tell them what you want to look at and your price range. Try every bike they have that meets your criteria (take your time).

Everyone's "fit" is different, and you just have to try lots of bikes to discover the one that you fall in love with and that feels like flying when you ride it.

Bike love can't be beat!
