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

Buying a Road Bike

I am planning on getting a road bike soon and only will have around 500-600 dollars and was wondering what the best bike in this price would be. Im a 14 year old male and ride quite a bit. I like the Giant OCR 3 and it got editors choice so that would be a good one im sure. I also like the Fuji Finest AL. If you have an opinion about these or another good bike in this price range let me know.
-thanks

Look at Felt or Raleigh or Iron Horse. I've seen good components on lower end of these bikes. If you can stay away from Sora(derailers) you will be doing good.
