any cyclists/roadies?

Well, just doing more research, maybe a cyclocross is more in line with what I need. A local store shows a NOS 2009 Specialized Tricross Triple for $1200. Might be able to talk them down from there, or throw in shoes/pedals or something.

If you're going to ride, get a road bike. If you want to be a casual bike rider then get something else. You said you already bought shorts and all the gear, sounds like you want to be a cyclist... get a road bike.

When I started riding a few years back I was like you wondering do I really need a road bike because I would like to ride on other surfaces or be able to ride on gravel etc. So I compromised and bought myself a nice road bike but also bought some road slick tires for my Mt bike. I used those road slicks ONCE. Since owning a road bike, I have never once thought that I wished I had something else. If you want to ride, get a road bike, period.
