I'm in the market for a new road bike and am not sure what brand will be right for me. I've received recs for Trek, Bianchi and Specialized. I'm a new rider so don't want anything extravagant. Hoping to spend around 1500, 2k max on a completely assembled and fitted bike. I'm tall (just about 5'10) and slim. What are some good bikes in this price range for a tall chick?
When purchasing anything, my instinct is to wheel and deal for the best price. I get the impression that bike shops don't look to fondly upon this so I don't want to commit any sort of faux pas. How negotiable are the prices? Can I expect to buy a bike below MSRP?
Thanks!
