Probably best to go used. Check Craigslist.
If you must go new, try Bikes Direct. They are a decent budget option
Or maybe just save up to get what you really want. Too many people try to cheap out on $10K bikes only to find themselves upgrading everything.
Hell, the cold fusion-powered shifters on mine were $225,000 alone. Have to expect that when you're buying space alien technology.
