Thanks a bunch for the feedback guys, it helps a bunch.

I would like to know more about getting my front fork either fixed or repaired, however this will not end my pursuit for another solid road bicycle because the Peugot's frame is too small for me anyway (55cm). I have been fitted for a bicycle around 58cm and 59cm.

But yea, afilado, I'll have to get back to you on that. Thanks

Oh... I may end up getting the Bridgestone, but the decision process isn't entirely over.
