Velocivixen - I don't think what I'm looking at right now is going to be outgrown by me.I'm not planning on racing anyone. Where I live, I sure won't be riding to work. For me, the bike is for fun, exercise, and riding with people. I'm not needing a commuter bike. If I wanted one before, I guess I'd want one now but no, I have no plans on doing that. So, my cheap bike will work just fine and I do believe it will be fitted properly because it is fro my a reputable Bike store and reference on this forum.

What will make me quit is living in New England and cold weather, possibly. We shall see.

And thank you SkierChickie for your thoughts on how they have escalated to now.
