Today I test rode a Raleigh M80 with disc brakes. Wow, such an improvement over my DiamondBack Outlook. Where is a good place online to buy bikes? I'm 90% sure that I want the Raleigh, though price will always change my mind.

I'm interested in this too. I've found some bikes I like around town.. but I'd like to compare prices and features.

1. very few companies sell online or mail order
2. shipping cost = 50$..might as well go to local bike shop
3. most shops give you free service/adjustment with purchase of a bike

as far as the raleigh goes, ive heard that they are typiaclly heavier than their competitors... on an m80, the disc brakes just add more weight and probably does not offer better performance either (think cheap disc vs quality v brakes)
