Buying first road bike-Need some opinions from the Guru's and Trolls

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Will look up. Thank you.

Right now I'm considering entry Gan with ultegra upgrade. But still doing lots of reading on other bikes so I appreciate any feedback.

I love the color schemes on some of the Giant TCR models. You could get a lot of bike with that much money from Giant.

If you want to be intentionally unique and have bad taste, you could get the Look 675-

A guy I know has one of those bikes. It looks better in person and especially in the smaller sizes.
