HEYA FOLKS=)

im new to these cycling forums and would appreciate some much needed help..i need to find a nice
starter road bike, that i can possibly, compete in some sprint triathalons. im an avid mountain biker,
that really enjoys a nice long 2hr cycling class. i really want to get the most bang for my buck, but im
open to all the advise i can get.

first-limit is about 1500max
second-have a lot of gear so dont really need any extras
third-if a model is worth the couple hundred over that limit, i may be able to pull a bit out of savings!
fourth-please oh please remember i want to get the right one, the first time, but i really, really want a
sweet bike, with shimano 105s or better...any brand is fine, but equal to that!


thanx and glad to meet you all,
