I'm looking for a good road bike under 800 bucks. I'm not going to be living strong or anything crazy, just biking to my day job (13 miles) and around the valley. Not really looking for a track bike either... any help would be appreciated. |

If you're intent on getting something good on the road bike tip, for that budget, hit up craigslist and look for vintage, 80s Italian steel roadbike with a decent groupo build. |
