As mentioned, going for a entry level bike with a Sora or Tiagra gruopo is good for recreational riders that really don't plan on heavy training or becoming more involved in the sport. The problem I see here is that you are 15; meaning you are still growing and will probably have a growth spurt.

This lends itself to the problem of frame sizing (depending on how tall you are now).My suggestion for bikes:For more serious biking Trek2.1 or 2.3 (cost from 1,400$ 1,700$ Canadian) but comes with a 105/tiagra andfull 105 gruopo, respectively, with carbon fiber fork and seat stays.- Giant TCR Alliance A1 (cost 1,600$ CND) with mixed composite aluminum/carbon composite frame/fork and 105 gruopo.-Cannondale CAAD9 R5 (1,600$ CND), mixed 105/ultegra gruopo, carbon fork and top notch aluminum frame.

For more recreational riding: trek 1.0 or 1.2 (1000$), sora/tiagra mix, carbon fork, aluminum frame.- Giant TCR (1200-1300$ CND) full tiagra gruopo.- Giant OCR series (800 1300) ranges from sora to 105 gruopo, but with more upright seating position and compact frame.Just have a drop by your local bike shop, and they can fit you with something reasonable. But, in my opinion, the new 105 10 speed is probably one of the best gruopos for that price range and will last you a long time. Some of my fellow club members even race with 105 and do fine. Join your local bike club and participate in events. Don't buy a bike thinking you will upgrade it's components, it will cost your a lot more in the end
