I have been to all the LBS in my area. And I have looked at several bikes. They all seem good to me. I am considering 2010 Fuji Roubaix ACR 3.0, Specialized secteur elite, Trek 2.1, Cannondale CAAD 8 with 105 components, Cannondale CAAD 10 but with lower end components and at the bike shop where I really like the guy who owns/operates it said he will be selling Giant and Felt bikes, of which I like the Giant Defy, and I also want to look at the Felt Z85, however, I have yet to see the Giant and Felt in person. The last LBS went out of business then the new owner bought it, so he doesn't have any bikes in stock yet, but he should have his orders in next week. He was the most personable out of every person I spoke with at all the shops. So that being said I wouldn't mind waiting to buy a bike from his shop. Also, none of the shops stocked a bike in my size. I'm 6'3 255 so I need a 61cm. How do you suggest I narrow it down? This will be my first road bike purchase so I have no idea where to start. My budget is $1200 which all of the bikes I listed fell within my price range. I could possibly stretch my budget to $1500 if I found a bike that I couldn't live with out.
