I crashed my very first bicycle, a vintage Peugot beater bike that introduced me to this wonderful world of cycling. Purchased last week and wrecked this week, I can't help but feel extremely bummed and saddened that I can't enjoy the feeling of cycling on the road. I may be new to this world of cycling, but am certain that I love it and would not give up this newly found hobby. I want to be back on the road ASAP and need some advice on the next purchase of a road bicycle (or possible repairs/new parts).

Unfortunately I'm a bit low on money and so I'll be selling my HDTV & Playstation 3 console to hopefully reach a budget of about $800.

Can you guys tell me what you think of the following:
