What is your preference on brand? Trek, Cannondale, Specialized, etc?
I'm looking for a good entry level road bike. |

Depends, how much do you want to spend?

My budget has drastically increased, but the more it increases the longer it will be until I can make the purchase. |

My current favorite is my Bianchi. It's a single speed, I get an awesome workout on it. To "shift" I simply work harder. My workhorse is my BMC, it's my tri-bike, I can do distances [and hills] that I wouldn't dream of on my SS. Like others say - it's about fit, not brand. The brands now are quite close as far as the beginner bikes go. It's more about the components on them. Like, a beginner Grouppo.....

No doubt. I'd always wanted a Dean titanium road bike, and found a great deal on ebay. Too bad it was about 1 or 2 cm too big. I tried for years, and never got it to fit right. Had to sell it eventually.

I have a Trek Discovery Edition. Basically the Repsol of the bike world. Fancy looking but nothing over the top about it. However I use it in Triathlons and many road conditions and I love it. I bought it used and it's still been great.
On a road bike make sure you get fitted correctly on it or you're going to be hating life.
