Although my bike is fixed up now and GTG at least thru 2020, the local salesman suggested I consider upgrading at some point to something that is lighter, will roll better, etc.
I may pull the trigger on a new road bike next spring...what do you guys recommend for under $750? Something that was not made by Communist China would be a big plus. Thanks

You won't find a new road bike for $750 that isn't made in China these days. But if you are serious about going to a roadbike, I found this deal at Wheel and Sprocket, just a few hours drive away from you in central Wisconsin. Closeout deal on a Felt road bike for $700.
