Agreed, that Schwinn is pretty! Also the BMC at cc is an insane deal(but slightly above your budget. Don't put too much stock in a test ride. As long as you are comfortable with frame size and geometry, you'll do ok. You can always spring for a professional fitting after you have the bike (@ $75). The Schwinn has a 520 frame and 105. Crazy price at $800 including shipping. Get 2 and you and the Mrs. Hit the road!
