I recently bought a 2004 Cervelo Superprodigy, and it's FANTASTIC. It's one of these, but this one has slightly longer, custom chain-stays, most likely built for the cobbles in Europe:http://www.cyclingnews.com/tech.php?...GW/bike_ch1825

I researched this for a long time. I decided early on I wanted steel, and I bought this because of reputation/reviews, price, weight, looks, and the clincher for me was that the frames comes with a Columbus Muscle (full) carbon fork, Cervelo carbon seat post, and a Cane Creek S2 head-set.

Most of all, it was probably the price. I think they are now selling in the U.S. for about $900, which is reasonable for a "brand name" bike made with Columbus Foco steel. Try getting anything else in Foco for that price.

Seriously...if you want steel, stop looking, and GET ONE OF THESE
900 for the whole bike? Wow. I knew they had the superprodigy frames in sale at excel sports a while ago, but I forget how much they cost...
