Thanks for the suggestion. doing a rough Google of that list puts it in my budget. Is a steel variant frame build about my only option at my weight/price range? I was looking to get something lighter, maybe aluminum frame and wheels with less drag. Any input on a 700x24 for tires? I see Big Bens has that size. I've read a few other post that like that size. Also reading through others post, i see many people buying a stock bike and upgrading the wheel set, is that a good viable option?
Again, thanks
Jason
