What's a good, inexpensive (< $1000) road bike?



Favorite brand/models to look for would be useful too, as I'm considering purchasing a used bike off Craigslist.

Thanks in advance!

For getting started in road cycling, you'll want to head to a reputable bike shop where they can get you into an entry-level racing bike around your price range. With minimal road cycling experience there's too many variables in purchasing a used road bike.

After some time, if you get to know the cycling folks in your community, you will have the option of checking out some used bikes with folks who know what they're talking about, and who will let you try them out.

Trek's entry level Alpha-Aluminum model is around $700, and could be fitted with upgraded components for under $1000. The other poster also mentioned some quality bikes to look at. Source(s): www.trekbikes.com
Cannondale
Go with a Cannondale, Trek, or Specialized, they are all solid bikes
you are better off buying new over used, and from a reputable local bike shop

KHS, Trek, Specialized, and Giant all have good entry level bikes in your price range

Shop around. Try bike shops at the end of the season around october. Lots of clearance specials.

Completey off topic, but am i the only one to notice that Uncle Neals responses seem limited to
