woah, didn't know there were some road riders on here. MAybe I'll join you on one of your rides some time.
If anyone is looking for a good bike to grow into, I'm getting rid of a Trek 1.9 (like a Cannondale CAAD) with Dura-Ace on it. Tuned and ready to go.
more details here on craiglist - listed for $1300, but can do $1200 for a fellow RS'er (or reasonable offer)
