looking for a bike
hey im just interested looking for a new bike in the future. im looking to get a quality bike that i wont outgrow. im interested in performance since im a competitive person ( im not sure if any competition is in the future) i would preferably like to spend around 800-900 if that would work . is that a good budget to find a nice ride or should i save a bit more to open up more options . i have been learning a bit about components but i dont know much about frames in this range. i just want to have some knowlege before i go into a bike shop

those are pretty general questions ... I suggest stopping by a local bike store and having a conversation

You can get yourself a decent bike for that price. Look for leftover models or sales. Try performance bike if they are local or as Mt said, try your local bike shop. Cannondale Caad9, Specialized Allez, Fuji newest etc.
