I was in the market for a bike, as my current road bike just wasn't fitting quite right. I'm on a tight budget right now(although i couldn't help drooling over a $3k Serotta) so I went back to the bike shop and a lady was getting a MTB and no longer wanted her roadie and asked the lady at the bike shop if she knew anyone that would want it. so when I get to the bike shop, they showed me the bike and I took it out for a test ride. it fit better than my current bike.
I got her for $400 Its a Bianchi Giro, it has Shimano 105(a significant upgrade from the Sora on my other bike) and it came with a computer and clipless pedals. aside from needing her chain cleaned and tires inflated, shes in pretty good shape.

How exciting... a new bike, is a new bike, is a new bike...
Glad to hear it is such a good fit - most excellent
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".
