hey man, new to GNV too! would be to hang out some time and i ordered my bike off of amazon, got free shipping and a great price. they have lots of entry level bikes to choose from though, make sure you get something good for your height
I'm looking to buy my first road bike for casual riding. I found these two cheapos on Amazon:

Which would you recommended? Or would you recommend something else? I'm looking to spend under $500 and am 5'9 and 150 lbs.
You know what else is funny? I got this guy 4 years ago, new from Amazon, and it came with the 7 speed set. They're still selling them new.
Guys, I realize the difference: it's like saying, "I want to upgrade my old point-and-shoot," while most of you are hauling mid to high range DSLRs, but I love my bike, and it exceeds in doing what I want it to do. I've had no problems with it. I've also read stories about stuff breaking from this very bike, and I'm just appalled. Maybe I take care of it better than most ... I've never had an accident with it, and even the back derailleur, as you can tell from the picture, has survived a few set downs and wall scrapes like a champ.
Anyhow, I thought I'd see what the community had to say, and I appreciate the overall message that I'm just not going to find a brake/shifter for 1) my system and 2) that cheap.
