As another new rider... :-)
I just got the Specialized Ariel. It's a hybrid, since I live on a gravel road and have to ride down that to get to pavement. It's also great when I get to ride the trail around the lake with my husband (who rides a skinny wheel road bike) because I can cut across the grass and be the first one back to the van. Ha!
I bought it new from the LBS--msrp $440. http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/...7&menuItemId=0
You'll enjoy it, once you get started on it.
Michelle in OK
