Hi there, i have been riding a bike for exercise about a year now, i am currently using some diamondback bike the one of my parents have, its more of a mtn bike. I think its time i stepped up to a real road bike but I'm a student and would like to keep it around $400 is this a reasonable price range for a road bike i see many bikes for well over 1000. does that mean that with a 400 dollar bike I'm sacrificing quality? I've been surfing bikesdirect for a bit and specifically looking at Dawes Lightning 1000 Shimano 24 Speed Road Bike http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/dawes/lt1000.htm any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
