Anyone know about bikes?

[VFX]

I haven't ridden in years & years and I'm looking to buy a decent road orientated bike.

My last bike was a GT Avalanche which is great for hard trails & downhills but not really practical for the open road.

I need something that's light & fast enough for some lengthy road work but wont fall apart or buckle a rim if I take it on a light trail or hop off a curb.

Anyone have any recommendations around the $750-1250 range?

I was thinking this one @ $900 something... (Rocky Mountain Metro 30 D)
