Trek has introduced the 1 series. You can get good geometry, a carbon fork and tiagra 9 speed for $1099 (high retail).
If you've been following the guitar thread, it's much like learning to play guitar. If you don't buy one that is easy to play, then you'll give it up.

I have done 3, half century rides on my Aluminum framed (carbon seat stays and fork) Fuji, and love it.... My shop fitted the bike to me, and I have no soreness whatsoever.... Arkansas roads are not the smoothest in the world either.
I am looking forward to riding some 100 mile days this summer now that my legs are ready to make those kind of trips, without injury.
I am planning to upgrade to carbon soon.. but more for bling and weight... Probably something like a Specialized Roubaix Pro Expert.
I like this.. don't know why??? but it makes my heart beat....
