I'm looking for a solid suspension (NO SHOCKS) road cycle just for pleasure use so it doesn't need to be super fancy or race quality. Can anyone recommend a good brand or model? I ride a 52" Male Frame.

You must mean a 52cm frame. I would advise you to go to a bike shop also. Most big box stores (Wal Mart, etc) get their bikes from China and they don't care about the weight of the bike. Get the lightest bike you can afford, you won't regret it in the long run.

at present steel framed motorcycles tend to be the two very, very inexpensive (and specific not very sturdy) or very costly. you're transforming into observed this by ability of the fee of the Thorn selection. at present human beings want high quality for much less money and manufacturers have desperate that aluminium promises sturdy fee. it is effective in case you like aluminium. I definitely have 2 aluminium frames. while geared up with carbon forks and seat positioned up they do furnish fairly a comfortable experience. this characteristic isn't as gentle as a high quality steel physique with a great Brooks saddle. something of my motorcycles (and the series is embarrassingly super) are all (different than a carbon fibre) steel and are all 2d hand or homestead geared up. they're so superb to experience. a high quality steel physique could be as easy as a inexpensive aluminium physique, and the steel could be repaired very particularly. 2d hand is possibly a thank you to bypass as long as you already know what you're doing and searching for on the fee you're desirous to pay. i could not discover any new steel framed motorcycles of the type you're searching for for on the fee you desire to pay for brand spanking new. ( It grew to become into an extremely speedy look). the only steel framed motorcycles that are 'worry-unfastened' at present are the 'retro' single speed motorcycles. i admire mounted wheel motorcycles and characteristic many. sturdy good fortune.

You should be able to go to a local bike shop and get a decent bike for under $500. Plus it will be better than anything Walmart has to offer you.

Try small bike shops in your area. You can get a good bike for under $200.At my local shop I've bought 3 road bikes for under $200. one Ross, one Echo, and one Schwinn world sport. just please stay away for wal-mart or any big store. the bikes won't last long, mostly the big stores don't even sell road bikes, Yes wal-mart does sell schwinn now but thier lower quailty.

You can look at Ibex bikes:

You can go to some bike shops to see what they have, probably some 2005 leftovers, or probably some good used bikes.

I'd check garage sales and freecycle - because I am super cheap!
