Re: Suggest some good name brands for bicycles.
A few thoughts:
-Rick is right, Craigslist is a remarkable resource for this kind of thing...it's how I found my present Trek roadbike.
-Look at Diamondback as a company: I've had one for 6 or 7 years, and the only problem that I had with it was my shifters wore out. I am a fan of hard-tails, and they have some good options in the $200-$400 range (their Outlook model is a fine piece of work).
-I don't know what your personal preferences are, but a good hint as to quality is to look at the shifters. I avoid grip shifts at all costs...Shimano and Campagnolo are really the only way to go.
Good luck, and remember the helmet.
