Road Bikes
“So many models, so little time to ride them all. Well, having a bit of strategy never hurt did it? When it comes to Road Bikes it’s important to start with a good understanding of frame materials before deciding which direction to go in. This will allow you to dial in the ride quality you’re looking for in the price range you’re after.
Steel:
Tried and true, the classic feel of steel is hard to beat. Smoothes out the road vibrations great, but weighs a bit more than the other materials. Steel is often found at the entry level or the high end of pricing. Complete bike price range: $600 - $6000.
models we carry:
Jamis Satellite - $950
Jamis Satellite Femme - $950
Jamis Quest - $1685
Jamis Quest Femme - $1685
Serotta Fierte - $3570 - $5000
Aluminum:
Lighter and more responsive than steel. You might feel the road vibrations a bit more, but when you step on the pedals the bike responds instantly. Look for Aluminum at entry to mid level prices. Complete bike price range: $615 - $1400.
models we carry:
Jamis Ventura Sport - $615
Jamis Ventura Sport Femme - $615
Jamis Ventura Comp - $875
Giant Defy 1 - $1400
Carbon / Aluminum:
A great way to get some of the benefits of Carbon at a lower price. The aluminum keeps the price and weight down, while the Carbon takes the edge off the road vibrations. If you don’t want to indulge in a full Carbon bike this is the place to be. Complete bike price range: $1350 - $2050.

Complete bike price range: $3700 - Sky’s the limit.
