Default Looking for first road bike. Stuck on a trek 1.2 and Specialized Allez

Hi, im looking to purchase my first road bike. I will be doing 40-50 miles trips and just riding for fun. Im trying to keep everything around $1000 which includes shoes and pedals and the bike. I imagine i will go a little over but that is ok. I have a bike shop in town and they sell specialized and trek bikes. I am stuck between the Trek 1.2 which is $760.00 and the specialized Allez which is $800.00. I am not sure which is a better bike in terms of quality and for riding on long trips. Any advice would be great.

Ride them both. Even on a very short demo ride you will get a sense of how each bike feels to you. Since they are both good bikes in that price range, it's just a matter of which one feels best to you.
I just upgraded from an early 90's 1200 to a brand new Trek 2.1. My 1200 served me well for many years. On the other hand, a good friend swears by Specialized.
Either way you go, with the proper fit either bike will be just great.

Talking warhammer online gold

[font=宋体]Warhammer gold[/font], as the currency in the Warhammer world, plays an important role in the economic system. The experience plays take in game kinda depends on how much Warhammer gold they have. To amateur players, they do not have much time to play the game, not even farming Warhammer online gold. So most of Warhammer players would like to purchase Warhammer gold.
Warhammer online CDkey are the codes which be used to active your Warhammer Accounts. Warhammer online timercard then will be needed after your Warhammer Accounts have been activated. That means you have to use both Warhammer CD-key and Warhammer Timecard after you creat an Warhammer account, so that you can access to the Warhammer world.
Buy Warhammer CD-key and Warhammer Timecard from us, experience our Instant delivery and Secure transaction.
For further information about the Warhammer CD-key and Warhammer Timecard, Please keep an eye on Warhammer online Powerleveling

Go with the one that feels more comfortable and fits you better. I personally feel the Allez is finished a little more nicely, but that's practically splitting hairs.
