Default Fitness Bike...

So I went into the local bike shop today and gave one of thes a spin....

http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCBkM...keTab=techspec

Kinda nice. Easy ride and all. I can tell it will give me some nut numbness, but If I am going to be riding 12-13 miles to work and then back twice a week or more I am going to want to get something better than my Mountain Bike.

Question.

I rotate between 307 and 315. I am hoping to end up rotating between the 260-270 range for the rest of my life. (I used to rotate around the 500 range, so don't get all "fat" on me or anything.)

The guy at the shop said this bike would support me fine. He also mentioned that the tires are 28's and the bike will support up to 35's which is perhaps what I should do.

Price is 550. What do you all think? Can it be found cheaper?

RACE!
