Road Bikes Prices 2002
       
Below are some of the bikes you are most likely come across in any decent bike shop.

This page: Bikes priced from $550 - $1,,450

Next Page: Bikes priced from $1,500 - $3,000

Discounts As a charity event participant you may be able to get a 10-15% discount on prices at bike shops that support the event.  If the shop already has the bike on special this may not always apply. Sometimes they may also throw in some additional accessories too - water bottles, water bottle cages, bike pumps etc. It never hurts to ask.
Price Range We have listed the bikes by retail price from the cheapest to the more expensive.  This makes it easier to compare different brands within the same price range. 
Double Vs. Triple Bikes can come with a "triple" or a "double" chainring. You can usually buy these bikes with a "double" for a little less. We recommend buying a triple - also affectionately known as a "granny gear" implying that even a granny can ride a bike with this gearing.  For more info about "triple" vs. "double" click here.
Links We have included links to each manufacturer's website and, if possible, the exact page each bike's information is listed.  On these pages you will find more in depth information about the bike and specs.
Photos Click on the bike image for a larger picture. Use the back button on your browser to return to main page.
Indicates Women Specific Designs though you will also find that other bikes which have 43-49 cm frames may also come with a different frame geometry and smaller components designed to suit women.  Remember, not all women need "women specific design" bikes.  Read our article about these bikes.
Resources We recommend going to the Virtual Ride Leader section of the site for more information about buying and shopping for bikes
