Hi /m/. Normalfag here. I have been told for the type of riding I'm doing, my equipment is not as gratifying as it could be to ride. I use a MTB from Academy Sports that I got as a gift last Christmas. I've been riding MTB on the road for four years. I've joined cycling groups and can keep up fine, but apparently the bike is keeping me back. It's dual suspension.
Anywho, what is the best first road bike for me? Tell me what I want. I prefer the look of classic racing frames, if that matters
OP here, Idk what information you guys need about me but I'll tell you whatever
not american, but apparently they have this craigslist thing where you can look old roadbikes pretty easily from what i've heard
I'm really wanting to drop about $700 on a new roadie, and I was wondering what qualities a noob would benefit from
It sounds like you're ready to step up to the next level. Flat Bar Road Bike.

Performance bike has some nice bikes. Look into the Fuji Roubaix. I love it

You want at minimum an alu frame and carbon fork. From there decide whether you want drops or flatbar.

Gonna have a hard time getting anything new for that. Used is your best bet. Avoid carbon because if it's used it's probably cracked
What rims are those on your shit mtb? I want me some white rims. Also if you can expand your budget a bit look into building a chiner carbon roadie. I just built a chinese carbon mtb and am very impressed w/ the quality.

Yep, that's a BSO alright.
