    I would say my budget is up to about $1000. Like I mentioned before, I walked into the bike shop and felt like I was in an alien spaceship man. All I knew was what looked pretty, you know? And the bike guy wasn't much help; He meant well, but I think he was used to dealing with people who are already knowledgable about bikes.

    Some friends of mine say that I should just wait until the end of the year and buy a used one from some of these shops and tour companies, but my problem with that is two-fold:
    1. I really don't want to wait until Sept. to buy a bike
    2. Can I really trust a used bike to be worth the 60% lesser price tag than a new one?
