Awe... Thx so much for doing a "Miranda-test-ride" and reporting back! Anyone to purposely endure the nasty chip and seal is a good soul. Well, that gives me some more to think about.

One lbs shops just started carrying Specialized. They had a 52cm carbon demo that was going to be available for rent. Not my size, but maybe rideable enough I could get an idea of a carbon ride.

That was a deal on the final price of your Look, btw. I do know what you mean about the mail order bride part. And yes, at that level, the bike is going to be nice regardless.
