From reading all of the threads, it seems like Performance is the Wal-Mart of cycling BUT
I was wondering if you think they sell quality bikes. I want to get a brand name bike but looking at the bikes there.. it seems like the prices look too good to be true. My price range is somewhere around 1200. It's my first bike. I don't want the cheapest and I don't want a bike to replace my car payments.
My choices come down to either:
Tirreno Razza 1000 Road Bike
-Lightweight AN6 alloy frame with carbon-fiber stays and a full carbon fork provides vibration damping and efficiency.
-Race-ready Ultegra 10 speed components
-Velomax Vista Wheel provide a lightweight stable platform for training
-TruVativ Rouleur carbon compact cranks give you power and strength without extra weight

or my favorite store in the world:
Novara Divano Bike - 2007

If you could give me a quick reply and tell me if Tirreno or Novara are decent brands, that would be great.
