    	Hi.  I'm thinking about buying a new bike and I need some
    	suggestions.  I haven't bought a bike in about 15 years 
     	(I'm still clunking around on my 35lb Schwinn Varisty).  I
    	need help on brand names, options I should get, where to
    	buy, etc.  I'm willing to spend between $350 - $400.  I would
    	be riding about 4-5 times a week, between 15 and 30 miles each
    	time.  I probably won't get into any serious racing but might
    	enter one every once in awhile.  I'm mainly looking for a good
    	way to get into shape.  I work in Marlboro, live in Leominster
        but would be willing to ride to say N.H. to purchase it.  Any
    	info and/or suggestions you can give me will be appreciated.
    
    					Thanks!

|     You're in good company.  People in notes 371, 375, 442, 504, 541,
    and 548 asked practically the same question.  Check these notes
