I looked at your commute on the map. Wow!
I'm still weighing my options. There are a couple of guys in my area who have a couple of REAL NICE road bikes for sale. I like both of them, but I'm still so new at this...I don't want to jump on one of the deals only to discover I wish I would have waited. I like to have all my ducks in a row and do lots of thinking and researching before taking the plunge.
Heck, I've even entertained the idea of getting a recumbent bike or trike. My thoughts are all OVER the map! I've got to get it together before my bank account runs dry!
It's a Specialized Allez Double. I would just say make sure you feel comfortable on the bike. I test drove less/more expensive bikes but the Allez just "fit". I dunno, the bike should really have you at "Hello"
Test every bike you think you might want so you have no regrets, bike shops are eager to sell.
