We are just shopping around for my 19yr old daughter who wants a commuting bike.

We have short-listed two bikes;

Specialised's 2007 model - Globe (not Globe Comp, or Globe Women's). We have ben quoted $480

Avanti 2007 Blade - $580

They may be useful to look at for you Sonja...

And other TE-ers, any opinions on these bikes for a teen's first road bike to commute on??
