Thanks to everyone who gave me recommendations on a Titanium bike.

I decided to get a Seven. Went to my bike shop this morning, intending to order a custom Alaris. Talk about fate--they had an Alaris, on sale, that fit me. It was a demo bike, barely got ridden. Compact geometry, as the shop used it as a demo bike for females. 2007 model.

It's beautiful. Light blue with white decals. I definitely will be upgrading the components, as it has Shimano 105. I cannot believe how light it is! The frame is so graceful. Right now, the shop is tuning it up, putting on my Speedplay frogs. Can't wait to get her own the road. I'm naming her Agnes, after my sweet golden who passed away in May.
