Help me choose a bike!

[ai319]

Hello, I recently got into cycling and am ready to purchase my first entry level road bike. I have a tight budget, but i narrowed it down to these 2 selections. Help me choose which one i should get.

Saw this at costco selling for 499
Diamondback » Podium 2 ‘10

Or

2010 Fuji Newest 3.0 Road Bike - Spin Doctor Pro Bike Build

What do you guys think?

I suggest the DB for the Tiagra components, carbon fork, clipless pedals and $499 price tag. That's a steal in my opinion. Just be wary of the frame size since the S, M, L is a more broad range than most companies offer; ie instead of jumping up 2 cm per step, it's more like 6 and 5 cm. This CAN make buying the right sized bike for yourself a challenge. Other than that, I think it's a great first bike and a killer deal!
