Hello,

I am new here so dont be too harsh... :)
Ok, I need a bike. Not a touring nor time trial. Preferably race, or a cyclocross that is compatible with a 52 front sprocket. I am a decent Mountain biker, looking to get into road bikes. My frame size is 49-51. I want a bike that is decent. I would rather not get a bike that I will want to upgrade/sell within the next few months. I am willing to spend anywhere up to 1100 possibly more, but preferably 1100 or under. Maybe a used bike that retailed higher than that would be good?

thanks!
