Bike Shops

Fujis are pretty good bang for the buck, especially at Performance because it seems like they're always on sale! I wouldn't overlook Schwinn either- their entry-level bikes are a good value for the price. If you can spare another $200 and find one in your size, the 2007 Schwinn Fastback Comp is a very nice bike and on closeout at ~$800.

$600 is a tough cap to have, but don't give up. I sold a Fuji Newest 3.0 (08? 07?? I can't remember!) to a woman a few weeks ago and, with the sales, promotions, etc. she paid something like $400 for the bike! An '07 closeout would be a good way to go, especially if you need a smaller size, as they tend to be the ones left over.

Happy hunting!

I'm 5'2" and I would say 44 to 49 cm is a good bet. trek 1000s should be in that range and can also be WSD. I remember trying out a 1000 and a pilot 1.2 and thinking that the fit was good. i've learned a lot about fit since then but the ride felt pretty good and was what really got me into thinking about road bikes.

I swear everywhere I go i hear that Jill is the one to speak with.
