Road Bikes
We used to call these bikes with the skinny wheels and down-turned handlebars ten speeds, or sometimes racing bikes. Today we simply refer to them as "road bikes". Road bikes are swift, elegant machines that can take you across town or across the country. They're pretty much just for pavement use, but ideal for long rides as they are very efficient and aerodynamic. A road bike is a good choice for touring, commuting, racing, or for the pure joy of performance. There's nothing like a road bike. Here's what we carry.
(For starters, you may want to read How to Choose a Road Bike. It's a good primer, and tells you what you need to know without all the jargon. You may also want to check out these FAQs.)
Raleigh Revenio 1.0
$700
We present the Raleigh Revenio 1.0 as our first entry in our 2012 road bike lineup. Revenio means "the comeback" or "the return" in latin. For Raleigh it means they've returned to a more relaxed or less "aggressive" frame geometry. Translation: The Revenio is comfortable without sacrificing performance. The aluminum frame makes the ride light and lively. The Shimano 2300 drivetrain makes for positive and reliable shifts. We were impressed with the ride, and the value. We think you will be too.

Jamis Satellite Sport
$675
Next we give you the Satellite Sport. We're very excited to offer a steel bike at an entry-level price point. The majority of bikes you see these days are made of aluminum, so it's nice to have an alternative. The steel frame lends the Satellite a very smooth, very stable ride, and the Shimano 2300 components make for quick, accurate shifts. This is a great starter road bike. It's perfect for your first triathelon or for simply adding cycling to your fitness routine. Come give it a ride. See what you think. (Also available in blue.)

Jamis Satellite Sport Femme
$675
Not to leave out the ladies, we also give you the Satellite Sport Femme. We're very excited to offer an entry level steel bike in a women's model too. Like the men's model above, the steel frame and chromoly fork give it a smooth, stable ride, and the Shimano 2300 components work great. However, the Femme is designed for a woman's physique. The women's seat, narrower bars, and adjusted "geometry" make it more comfortable for women. Also available in red. (Why a Women's Bike?)

Jamis Ventura Sport Femme
$650
We offer the Jamis Ventura Sport Femme as our entry level aluminum bike for women. The aluminum frame gives the bike a light, responsive ride, and the Shimano 2300 transmission makes for sure, positive shifting. Of course, the Ventura is particularly comfortable for women given it's women's specific seat, handlebars, and adjusted "geometry". This bike is definetly worth a test ride. Also available in gloss black. (Why a Women's Bike?)

Jamis Satellite
$950
We're pleased to offer the Satellite as our second entry in the steel road bike catagory this year. The steel frame dampens road vibration for a comfortable ride, but doesn't sacrifice any performance. It features Shimano Sora components, carbon fork, and a nice wheel set to make it fast. It's a great all around bike. Take it for a workout, ride with your friends on the weekends, or enter the occasional triathelon with it.

Jamis Ventura Comp
$950
We've added the Jamis Ventura Comp to our lineup this year. We wanted to offer an aluminum bike in this price range, as well as something in steel. We found a bike we like a lot. The carbon fork, Shimano Sora components, and Mavic/Formula wheels give the Ventura Comp a fast, nimble, and smooth ride. It's amazing how much bike you can buy for the money these days. We were pretty much blown away with how well it rode for $900! Come give it a test ride. See if you agree.

Jamis Aurora
$1025
The Aurora is our favorite touring/commuter bike. We bring it back year after year. The relaxed geometry and steel frame give it a comfortable fit and a smooth ride. The Tiagra level components are reliable and long lived. The Aurora is a very stable bike and handles beautifully with a load. Naturally, it's set up to take front and rear luggage racks and comes with fenders. It's the perfect bike for touring, commuting, and for taking those long weekend rides.

Raleigh Revenio 3.0
$1250
The Revenio 3.0 sports an aluminum frame, carbon fork, and Shimano 105 level components. Raleigh's new Re2P frame geometry lends both comfort and speed. The carbon fork trims the weight and gives the bike a very smooth ride. This bike is an outstanding value. It's rare to get components this good for this price. Come ride it. This bike will speak for itself.
