Currently I am looking in the range of $1400 to $2200. I am 5'7" but weight 230 lbs so I have a difficult time with hills. I also have heel spurs and plantar fasciitis so I sometimes have trouble applying too much pressure to the petals. I ride the SPD pedals currently and don't plan on changing that. I had my first taste of Texas chip seal at the Hotter'n Hell....did not like that stuff, but will ride it again I am sure.
