and it'll go lower probably. But if you plan to start right away, go for it.
Treefortbikes.com i've done biz with and had good results.

There's always Nashbar too:

Surly is another good "brand"...but they mostly sell through local bike shops.

My daily rider is a bike I built up from parts sourced primarily from Nashbar.com....started with their aluminum cross frame and went from there. All in I think it cost me around $1,500.... I don't advise this route unless you're just into the whole DIY thing and have an itch to scratch. I'd wanted to "build" my own bike since I was a teenager...

Sky's the limit really. More important IMO is the components that are installed on whatever brand you go with. Most brands have low end & high end bikes. The difference is primarily in the components that they use; tires, wheels, shifters, gearing, brakes, etc... Do some research on Shimano & SRAM and you'll start to get a feel for the different tiers within those brand components. They make cheap stuff AND really expensive stuff.
