Oh, one other thing, have you ridden a carbon fiber frame? I test rode one Friday, expecting it to be wonderful but found that I actually prefer my steel Serotta. The salesman was shocked!

Yeah, do try the carbon before you get too far in your shopping.

i second that. carbon may seem lightweight and pretty in the eyes but i've read from other forums that it isn't as durable as titanium or steel or even alu. but it dampens road vibrations way better than steel and alu.
