Thanks for the quick reply well first off im new to the sport and bikes so any info is good. From reading online people talk about gear sets i think like Shimano this and that. So i guess i was wondering between the 3 which has the best components since to me there all the same.
Maybe alcjphil sound like your an expert you can provide your 2 cents on the bikes?

Also the sizes seem to be different like one says Semi-Compact, compact, etc. wonder if one would be lighter or "feel" better to someone of different heights?

Also you mention local shops which i havent looked into yet but they seem more expensive is there a typical bike/brand that would be around that price?
I mean i would assume these parts or brands would have some reputation on a bike forum right?
Also a sprint is 12 miles probably the most ill ever ride at once
