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

Do you want a bike for racing, training, riding in winter, commuting ?
Do you need fender clearance, and the ability to fit a luggage rack?
For good low-cost bikes, Fuji is always a good bet, and they do the whole range of styles.

Buy used. At that price range, that's all you can do.
