Today I've been looking long and hard at road bikes. I don't want to spend a lot because I'll really only use it on really long rides (see sig) or when riding with roadies, but I don't want to buy a piece of crap just because its cheap. Hopefully something pops up used.

was eyeballing this cross bike so I could use for multiple things afterwards. seems like a decent deal as I think I've seen it on bonktown for 995. hopefully something good pops up for $300 around town though
