Was looking for a carbon road bike for faster group rides. Both of my bikes are awesome steel utilitarians that get the jobs done during the week--commuting, shopping, errands, etc.--with the occasional long ride. But steel frames, fenders, racks, lights, U locks do not make for a quick bike.
Scratched my itch this week after 8 months of CL watching---mint, used Specialized with Ultegra bits all around. Quick switch of pedals, seat, and tires and I'm good to go at < 40% of the new price.
Gotta love folks who buy expensive stuff on a whim so they can sell it to me later.
