Hi guys!

I'm new to the forums and looking to get a new bicycle. Initially I was gonna go the walmart route but decided against it. However, I still have some sort of a budget, so at or under $300 would be best. I realize I'll get what I pay for, but that's just my situation for now.

So, I read some other threads and went to bikesdirect. There aren't a ton of bikes in my price range, so here is what I've cut it down to:

http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/dawes/sst.htm
http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/...essenger_x.htm
http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/...cane/track.htm
http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/windsor/thehour.htm

Color doesn't matter to me. And the prices are similar. I would prefer drop bars but I think the dawes would still be a nice choice. I'll probably try both single and fixed when I eventually get one. Of these 4, which would be best?

I'm just riding it around campus, so take into account that I won't be going on any 10+ mile rides...yet anyway.

Thanks, in advance, for the help.
