I would change some things about the bike, like putting hoods on it.....i gotta have those.
If I were going to buy one of the Bikes Direct SS/FG bikes, I would get that one. It doesn't look the best IMO, but I think its more suited to road riding than the others. It does need hoods however.
The Motobecane Messenger is also set up well for road riding (with hoods even!!), but I don't care for the threaded headset/fork or the cheap looking wheels.
The Kilo TT pro is nice as well, but not worth the additional cost.
Get the Dawes SST AL
