So far, I'm liking the following three: Specialized Amira Apez (been recommended by various ppl),Trek Madone 3 series (not sure which one) and the Jamis Zenith looks very good. I may have to spend extra but this is for the long haul so might as well get something that I really like and fits me well. I'm tempted by a Pinarello FP Due Too much? Sure. Future gift, maybe

I don't race since I don't have the fitness preparation required for that,well so far. Who knows if I'll get tempted by the race bug in the future. I'll do the March 20 event since I have to be focused on something and the commitment that requires. Then after that, I will find another event to focus while enjoying being out doors on my new set of wheels!!
