Hello from SoCal
Hi everyone
I am very new to the road cycling. as a matter of fact I have never done it before. I decided to start since I dont like doing cardio inside the gym. I thought it would be fun and also really good to get my cardio done on a rad bike. So I need to buy a bike and I have no Idea about the brands, specs and sizes. I am 6.1 tall and I think I should get the largest (58). let me kno if I m wrong. Also suggest some brands and model that I could buy for 600 to 700 bucks. I browsed some web pages and I found some bikes that has gone on sale. like Fuji or Gavin... are these good brands?
thanks for reading.

Welcome to the forum!
My advice would be to go to your local bike shop (LBS) and tell them your budget and the kind of riding you want to do. They should be able to get you a bike that fits properly, which is the most important thing. Bikes can be like shoes - finding a cheap price doesn't mean anything if they're too big or too small.
Also, stop by the Southern California regional forum and say hello.
