I'm relatively new to road biking but I love it, and I've decided to get my own bike. Originally, my price range was about $1000 and I decided on the Felt F80 (from 2006). My budget has just gone up to $1300-$1400 and there are so many more choses. Right now I really like the 2007 Felt F75. I know that it's mostly preference and feel but are there any bikes that I should look for in that price range, to at least try. Please make a recomendation or even better a comparison.
Thank You All,

Will, as far as I'm concerned, Felt is a great name in bikes.
But, you should look at the bikes that are locally available to you in that price range and buy based on:
What turns you on
What feels most comfortable
Best value within your price range - for the most part all $1500 bikes will be very similar in componentry, but every once in a while there'll be a close out or last year's model for cheaper, or better components compared to others in that price range
Which shop you like best - this is also important because there's a lot the shop can do to help you through initial fit and tune up issues, and then later in giving you honest advice and good selection and price for the other stuff you'll buy.
Within all of the above, I don't think there's any objective reason to pick one "brand" over another. But, to repeat, Felt are nice bikes! (if they fit you).
