Funny that some of us are more than ready to ride a bike 60 miles but shudder at the thought of driving that far

it's amazing how some people will drive 3 but shudder at the thought of biking that far.

I have also heard great things about Jill at Proteus. While this might be a bit far for you, I am all about Spokes Etc. (http://spokesetc.com/). I usually go to their Alexandria location, but I was at the Vienna location last night and they were great folks. Incidentally, I was there for their monthly bike maintenance/fix a flat tire class and it was great. They definitely will not try to sell you more bike than you need.

Thanks guys. I looked at a Trek 1.2 yesterday at AA Bikes (they sold me my hybrid and I like the feel of the store/staff) They had a 1000 there from last year I may go ahead and pick up. It's a 43 WSD on clearance. Still have a few more stores to hit though. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll hit College Park soon as I have to go to Ikea anyway

What year is the Trek 1.2?
I looked at this years model and it's changed a lot from last year.

I can't say much good about this years 1.2
Low end components, odd shifter configuration.
