I need to get a bike for school next semester...any suggestions for a decent road bike/single speed, hopefully under $200 used? I too dont know a whole lot about bikes, so any pointers in the right direction help a lot. Btw, I'm about 5'10" 150ish.

The Cannondale Six13 was the top race bike around 05 or so. It is a great bike...
Possibly more expensive but others to look for used - Cervelo Soloist or Specialized S Works E-5

Project Budget Bike is finally coming together. I've never refreshed a bike before but it's been really fun. Might have to consider flipping bikes down in college for fun and a little extra scratch.

It rides so smooth but lost some feel when I added a Alu fork.

Just today I finished the SS conversion on my Klein. Used the 38t front I had with the mid 90's LX cranks, KMC SS chain, some spring-type chain tensioner I picked up at a local bike store(good parts are hard to find and are expen$ive over here), and an 18t rear cog.
The chainring & tensioner are temporary till I get it fully sorted. Then i'm on the lookout for light(er)weight wheels, along with a few other components.
