I'm new to the biking world and am looking at purchasing my first road bike.

I plan on using the bike mainly for commuting to work (~10 miles one way) and was looking for suggestions. I also plan on using the bike for general leisure and fitness.

My only real experience I have with bikes is a standard, old trek I had in high school - nothing new or fancy. I've been looking at a few bikes and opinions are desired.

Trek 2&1 Series, specifically the 1.1, 1.2 or even 1.5 Trek 520

Additionally, my fiancee is thinking about joining me in the fun (at least on the weekends for leisure and fitness) and we were looking at the Trek Lexa ($730 model).

Any opinions on these bikes or suggestions for others?

We'd like to say under $2000 for the pair + equipment if at all possible.

Thanks!
