Entry level road bike

We are getting my step daughter an entry level road bike for her 16th birthday. Any suggestions on bikes or stores near the north side?

There are definitely a lot of good entry level road bikes amongst the various brands. I am a big fan of my Felt (my bike is not entry-level but it is women-specific). I've also heard Jamis is a good brand. Liv (Giant) may also be a good option.

Northside shops - I loved the experience I had buying a bike from Turin (I bought a Focus Cx bike last fall) and I also like Johnny Sprockets. I don't know if Focus makes entry level road bikes but their bikes handle really well. I would love to get a Focus road bike after riding my Focus Cx bike.

If you are interested in trying Felt and/or Liv, PJ works at roll: on Clybourn.

Hope that helps! :-)
