Please include the name, brand, and link of the bike if possible. The bike should ride smoothly and quickly on flat ground. I am not riding in the hills or mountains.
Bikesdirect is about it! No road bike under $800 is going to be all that durable in the long run, components will be cheap and excessive use will be the end of nearly anything. Been to a bike shop yet to get this question answered? They WILL tell you the same thing!
