    frameset is all the same just different component groups.. sora should be good enough to get going and you can always upgrade stuff as you go.. i believe Trizz has one with the ultegra group on it.. he rips on it..... until Carl cruises by him on his speshy :lol:

    Trizz's bike is pretty nice.

    Hey Foo - don't you have an older Look and some SS road bike too? Come out next time!

    Have you taken a look at the Bianchi cross bikes?

    http://www.bianchiusa.com/08_axis.html

    I think there's an 07 on closeout from Jenson for like $895? Throw some road tires on there and you can join your local group ride. Or leave the knobbies on there and hit some dirt.

    I picked up a cross bike 2 weeks ago (not a Bianchi) and I'm digging the versatility.

    Yep, Trizz has a nice bike, especially the white bar tape. Always beware of the guys with bright white bar tape i.e Eddie Merckx. Unless of course you see pink bar tape...

    Maybe Foo will come out if we ride the '84 Olympic Road course in Mission Viejo one day?

    If I didn't have a roadie and was going to buy one I'd probably end up with this:

    not drunked? No guarantees my friend... :lol:

    Yeah I was looking at either that BMC Street Fire or Bianchi Via Nirone with ultegra components.

    The main goal is to get over the fear of being hit by a car!

    The Bianchi's are sweet, and that bike your talking about should have the K-Vid technology, which helps smoothen out the ride.

    I like the way the BMC's look just because of the tubing. It's pretty cool!!!
