Hey guys,
Im new to this forum and also new to road biking. I have a Schwinn Super Sport, but I am just not sure it will hold up too much longer and was thinking about getting a road bike.
My budget is only $500 (yes I know, that wont get me a very decent road bike) because I am a student with no job. I was searching the internet when I stumbled upon two very very very cheap bikes on Amazon.com. The one, a GMC Denali, the other a Schwinn Prelude. Links Below

Now, the only alternative I was thinking of was getting a Single-Speed Road Bike, but am not sure if they are good for maintaining a high speed.
So guys I need your help, GMC Denali, or Schwinn Prelude. Or screw those, a single-speed road bike.
Thanks guys,
Matt
