I just finished up track season and want to get into road biking. Since we have a ton of asphault 'trails' around my home I decided it would be a nice way to stay in shape until Cross Country starts and after it ends. I have however run into a problem... Finding a bike
I'm looking for a bike that :
1) Under 500$ (It's just an starter bike so I can always improve)
2) Big enough for a 6'4", 184 pound guy.
I have currently seen the: Schwinn Varsity and Schwinn Prelude 700c. Thanks in advance.
 
The Schwinn Varsity and Prelude only come in one size 55cm and will be too small for you. Road bikes are not cheap and fit is very important the only place to get a decent road bike is get a used one or if you can assemble and tune a bike, bikes direct will have some in your price range.
