I'm looking at the Diamondback Century 1 seems like a pretty decent bike in my price range.

Bikesdirect.com does have a lot of bikes never heard any of any other brands that are in my price range I'll have to Google them and find out if they're any good.

Seems like you sure don't get much of a road bike for $550 seems like I need like more like 900 to 1000 seems like it gets me a much better bike.
