LIke I say to all bikers, if all you're doing is going a flat 2-4 miles to work/school, it doesnt matter what type of bike you get. If you want to do any serious mountain biking, road biking, or are trying to get into shape, head on over to your local bike store and tell them what you need. Expect to pay at least $250 for mountain, $500 for road (new).

I'd like to see what you consider a good road bike for $500 (new).

I can't find one at a 'real' bike shop for under $750.

Expect to pay at least $900 for an okay mountain, $700 for road (new).

FIXED any less and it get to the cheapo stuff and you will regret it later. The original price for a used is not bad though. And even then, after a few years you will want to upgrade. With such a cheap bike. I mean most good frames are more expensive than $500.

Oh BTW OP. I have never heard of them, but it doesn't mean they are a bad maker. Just find out the alloys they use and what process they use on the hinges of their frames. Once you find that out, it will be about how much you are willing to spend and what compnents you want.

I bought a K2 myself (they aren't well known for bikes, more for skis), but the bike frame I bought is quite nice for an AL.

Any bike for that amount of money is going to be crap and a road bike, doubly so!

My road bike FRAME alone would sell for about $1,500.

(I didn't pay that though. ;) )

My first mountain bike was a Speicalized Rockhopper FS Comp which was marked down from 850 to 500, that absolutely ruled. You can get a Trek 4200 for around 250, its not the greatest thing in the world, but it beats the crap out of anyhting made by Dynabike.

When I was looking for a road bike I didnt want to spend more than 500 so I looked at year old Allez's which were in my price range. I ended up with a Trek 5000 which was on sale ($2200--> $1600) after Lance won the TDF two years ago, haha.

I'm the OP.

My reasoning for a road bike is that I like the body-position and the 'curled' handlebars.

Is there any other type of bike $500 or less than has a similiar 'style'?
