I'm not too fussed as far as groupset goes (I'm assuming that for my experience level and price range I'm probably looking at Claris or Tourney anyway); I can always upgrade that later if the bike rides well. Not planning on doing any competitive rides right now, I'm just in it for fun.

The only bikes I'm aware of are the Jamis Quest Sport and the Motobecane Gran Premio S and Elite. If you can point me towards any others, it would help quite a bit.

Thanks,
