More important than brand etc. is fit. Determine your price point and
look for the bike that fits and feels the best from there. People will
nail me on this, but a new $350 bike whether Trek, Bianchi, Cannondale,
etc. is a $350 bike, and holds true on up to around $1000. A $350 bike
that fits is better than a $700 one that doesn't. Look for a reputable
shop and they can provide you with a bike fitting. Then shop around for
one that suits you. Fortunately, if you are between about 5'8" and 6'2",
you can get a production bike fit without too much adjustment.
