I wanna get a road bike for this spring/summer and am having a tough time deciding what to get. I have never owned or ridden a road bike before and don't know very much about them. My local dealer sells Trek and Lemond and I am gonna get one of these brands. I can afford up to $1200 but the cheaper the better for me. I am looking at three Treks in my price range (1000, 1200, 1500). I know the 1500 is gonna be the best but I dont need anything special. I have ridden 30 miles on pavement with my Trek 4300 and just need something that is gonna be durable and functional. So my question:
Will the 1000 be a decent bike that won't break on me or is the better componentry of the others that much different that I should step up and get the higher model. Also, I dont think Lemond has prices on there website so if you know what fits in that price range, do you think they are better bikes.
