Thanks all for the input. I did the Tour de Cure this past weekend and enjoyed riding it but the guy that I was following and a new trek i believe and could tell I was working much harder to stay with him. It might have been a fitness problem as I'm a cross country runner/ distance runner in track and don't have much experience on the bike. only bout a month or so. injury prevents me from running right now. I still managed to do the 32mile course in 92min(about 21mph). Thats just the background of wanting to upgrade the bike.
