if you don't know anything about bikes, go down to your LBS and buy one there.

giant ocr or (cant believe im saying this) an aluminium trek would probably be in that price range. I'm not from the u.s.a so I'm not real sure. Get around as many bike shops as you can, ask intelligent questions. That way you'll probably find the best bikeshop for when you need to buy more stuff. Good luck, sorry that I cant really help.
