And you would have a(n) lbs to help you out or answer questions and make adjustments. May be a tad more than you want to spend, but worth it in the long run. It will hold it's value (for resale) better in case you decide to upgrade later. Maybe I should restate - for when you definitely decide to upgrade later.

Trek 1000 (I hope)
You can always go used. I bought my 2006 Trek 1000 used for $325. It belonged to a guy who used it only as his race bike. It was like new. Check Craig's list and E-Bay. You can definately find some great deals out there.
