Welcome! What are you looking to use the bike for? The bikes you're looking at at Target are, unfortunately, not very good machines. If you don't have a lot of money, your best bet is the used market (Craigslist or the like). I'm assuming you're looking for a road bike? Check the road forum for help finding a suitable used bike.
