I finally have decided I need to just buy a new bike since I will be participating in RAGBRAI, depending on the lottery drawing.
My budget is limiting me to certain types. I am shooting for an aluminum frame with a carbon fork or full carbon(due to my budget this isn't likely.
The two I am trying to decide between two right now; and they are:

or
http://montgomerycyclery.com/product/11cannondale-caad8-6-triple-73841-1.htm
Does anyone have any opinions on these two bikes or reviews? Also are there any other suggestions anyone might have that would fit a budget around $1,200?
Thanks for all the help in advance,
Eric
