Road Bikes
We used to call these bikes with the skinny wheels and down-turned handlebars ten speeds, or sometimes racing bikes. Today we refer to them as "road bikes". Road bikes are simple, 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 a good article on How to Choose a Road Bike. It'll simplify the buying process and tells you what you need to know without all the jargon.)
Raleigh Grand Sport
$695
We've selected the Grand Sport for our entry level road bike this year. The frame is aluminum, the fork carbon fiber, the components Shimano 2200. It's a road bike with some performance. It's light. It's fast. It handles beautifully. Besides being the perfect bike for just the pure fun of riding, the Grand Sport also makes a great triathlon bike for those who want to enter one, but are not ready to drop a couple of grand on a bike. We were impressed on our test ride with how well it rode for the price.

Jamis Satellite
$800
We're excited to offer the Satellite as our entry level bike in the steel catagory. Steel is a great frame material. It dampens road vibration for a more comfortable ride, but without sacrificing performance. The Satellite features Sora components, a carbon fork, and a nice wheel set to make it fast. The Satellite is a great all around bike. You can take it out for a workout, ride with your friends on the weekends, or even enter the occasional triathelon with it.

Jamis Satellite Femme
$800
Take the regular Satellite, change the color, add a woman's seat, then adjust the frame geometry to give it a lower stand-over height and shorter top tube, and you've got the women's Satellite. Like its brother above, it sports a steel frame, Shimano Sora components, and a carbon fork. (Why a Women's Bike?)

Jamis Aurora
$880
The Aurora is our favorite touring/commuter bike. We bring it back year after year. The relaxed geometry and steel frame give it a very comfortable fit and smooth ride. The Tiagra level components are reliable and long lived. It's a very stable bike and handles beautifully with a load. Naturally, it's sets up to take luggage racks and fenders. It's the perfect bike for touring, commuting, and taking on those long weekend rides.

Jamis Ventura Race
$1100
The Ventura Race, with it's aluminum frame and Shimaono 105 10 speed drivetrain, represents our finest aluminum road bike. It's light, stiff, and fast, but it doesn't have a bumpy ride with its carbon fork and carbon seat stays. It's a great ride!

Jamis Quest
$1400
The Quest is our finest steel road bike. We're big fans of steel bikes around here, and that's what the Quest is made of, steel. It comes equipped with Shimano 105 level components, Mavic wheels, and carbon fork. The ride is light and smooth; the feel, quick and fast! Talk about a bike that's fun to ride! I got one for myself. We also offer it in the women's specific model.
