In narrowing my search, this seems to be a decent bike that is comfortably within what I'd like to spend at this point. Alum frame w/ CF fork, Sora shifters & FD w/ Tiagra RD and it is a 24 speed. The local Performance Bike Shop has it for $500 which is $250 less than anything I've seen elsewhere with similar equipment. Looking for a basic road bike that will help in at least doubling my current 10 mile per day average while dropping from my current 230 lbs. down to sub-clyde. Opinions?
