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

I was looking at Wal mart's website and saw

Has anybody seen one yet. It has STI, and 3 available frame sizes.

If you're looking for a bike, try looking for a used one. My 2 years used OCR3 was $300 CAD, and it doesn't weigh 26lb =)

lol, yes. I think it's a double chainring version of the Denali, for those "hard core" roadies.

Could you also call it the "Denali Pro"?

It is certainly a big step up from the Denali. The fact that it has multiple sizes is a departurefrom form for Wal-Mart.

I would still look elsewhere for an entry level bike.

26 pounds? Dude, that's heavy as hell for a road bike.

Seriously, go to a bike shop and buy something decent or check the used market. Don't buy a bike from wallyworld.
