Here is the bike in question: Masi 2013 Premiare PC1 Carbon Road Bike

I want to spend as little as possible, and originally my budget was $300.

I started thinking, if i want to get a bike, why dont i just spend the money on a good one to begin with instead of wasting money on a crappy one, which i will have to spend more on later.

I started thinking again, the local Eriks is literally only 2 blocks from my house, and there is a 2 year service on new bikes.

I am going to be using this bike for commuting in the summer and spring. I want to get a bike now because those Masi's that they have are going out of sale soon. Whats really appealing is that its only about 18 pounds the guy said.

Is that the BEST bike they have for $800? I really don't want to spend too much more on it. I will move away from the bike shop if there is a REALLY REALLY good deal somewhere else.

Thanks.
