Advice on choosing a new bike

[cosc]

Elk, on a warm day I think I will go test ride the pretty Bleriot, which is many miles away.

The terry bikes $$ quite a bit, but would be worth it if the fit was right.

Knotted, wish I was close and I'd test ride your rigs. My arms and hands are more in the average length. I'm hoping for a bike without oddles of seatpost showing and a short, stubby stem.

I'll be quick to test ride as soon as we get out of the deep freeze and shops get in their new spring bikes. Looking forward to easter!!!!!!!!

I would check out the 2007 specialized Roubaix. They are made for distance riding, more of a comfort road bike- not aggressive like a race bike. The 2008s are all out, so you could probably get a comp or expert right in your price range.
