IMHO, the best time to make your purchase would be this weekend thru Performance, due to their 30% off sale.

I think that I have the perfect bike for you (me). However, it's $155 over budget, after the 30% deduction.

It's called the GT Corsa Disc Brake Road Bike. It comes complete with a 105 Gruppo, a Carbon Fiber fork, a double compact crankset, 35mm wide tires, Mechanical Disc Brakes, rack and bottle mounts. All dressed in a double-butted Columbus Thron Chromoly Steel frame.

Find Bikes, Cycling Clothing, Bike Parts & Bike Shoes Or Your Local Bike Store at Performance.

Checkout the GT Corsa Disc Brake Road Bike @ $1155 (After the 30% deduction)

It's an "Endurance" Road Bike...
