Hey everyone,
I am new here and new to the sport as well. I am looking to get a road bike. This is my first one. I am looking for something I can train with and possibly race in the future. I have a fairly tight budget so my options are limited. I have look at trek 1.1, lexa, fuji roubaix 3.0 (2011), specialized allez and secteur, and the lower version of the diamondback podium. Can anyone help me make a good decision for my situation? I have heard to buy a good frame because you can upgrade components later. Which of these have the best frame and upgradable components? Is there another brand or bike you would recommend? Thanks everyone.
