Not a "real" road bike, but here is what my niece got last year. I had never heard of these bikes until folks on this board were raving about them. My niece had a big old honkin' heavy comfort bike and we needed something a little more manageable for hills on a charity ride she was planning to do with the family. Her big financial goal was "no comma". She loves this bike. Yes it is a bit heavier than mine, but she rides it just fine and it is a really lovely looking bike!
