My budget has it's limits so I can't get anything far above AUD$650 (just under US$500). Also I live in Sydney, Australia. If you know any cheap stores there or know a cheap online store please post!
Don't order from Dan's Comp, the exchange rate sux right now. Check local stores (East Coast stores) like these ones...

These Aussie stores all stock bikes with the specifications you mentioned, so I'd call them and ask them what they recommend is the best bike, with your budget in mind, since the guys that work there are riders, too, so their advice is solid.
Or just browse through thier online store and pick out something you like
Good luck, bro. Hope you get a real nice bike for your dough.
What is the meaning of this song ? Windmills by Toad the Wet Sprocket.?
I love this song but I don't actually get what this song is about. Can anyone help to explain ?
Here is the lyric :
I spend too much time raiding windmills
We go side by side
Laughing until its right
Theres something that you wont show
Waiting where the light goes
Take the darkest hour-break it open
Water to repair what we have broken
Theres something that you wont show
Waiting where the light goes
And anyway the wind blows
Its all worth waiting for
Pull on the borders to lighten the load
Tell all the passengers were going home
I spend too much time seeking shelter
World without end couldnt hold her
Theres something that you wont show
Waiting where the light goes
And anyway the wind blows
Its all worth waiting for
Anyway the wind blows
Good question... I LOVE Toad the Wet Sprocket, can't say I get half their lyrics though...
"Raiding windmills" is undoubtedly a reference to Cervantes' "Don Quixote," the would-be knight in shining armor who attacked windmills as though they were giants. To take a stab at the meaning of the rest of it (without spending hours mulling it over!) it sounds as though perhaps the singer's search for true love is much like Quixote's chasing after windmills... a whimsical and transiently enjoyable if perhaps ultimately fruitless task... and yet, if successful in the end, it's "all worth waiting for"? I could be completely wrong, though.
The title of the album, "Dulcinea", btw, is also from Don Quixote -- that was the name of Quixote's imagined "princess"...
