Alright Cooper!

The Motobecane Steel Mirage ~ $330
www.bikesdirect.com/products/motobecane/mirage_xi_steel.htm

It's got nice strong wheels too!

* I would strongly suggest that you join the nearest bicycle co-op, in order to upgrade and customize this bike, within the year. Like maybe, next winter, upgrade and repack the bottom bracket. Also upgrade the crankset to at least, Shimano Tiagra. Perhaps next spring, upgrade the derailleurs and cassette to Tiagra.

PS.

Always keep an eye out for a great deal on even better wheels on eBay.

Make certain that you have a really nice floor air pump, a NY Fahgettaboudit U-Lock, and a helmet.
