I decided to go for the Raleigh 600R. It's a like new (really) 99' with the cool paint that goes from green to purple depending on the light. It's got full 105... EVERYTHING is 105 :D
It came with a specialized Pro Ti seat, a cateye enduro 2.0 cmptr, and a pretty decent areo bar. It is in absolutely pristine condition. I paid $525.00 for it. I cannot wait to put some miles on it as this is my first road bike in... 25 years or so. It just LOOKS fast sitting here in the Motorhome LOL....
I'll try to post some glacier/raleigh R600 pics tomorrow.

sweet! i have the same bike with i think the same metallic purple/dark green paint. although mine has been changed to Campy/Sachs. do you have the Time Carbon fork?

anyway, i've had mine about 4 years and love it! i bought it about 6 months used.

congrats. it's a great bike!

No it still has the original chrome aluminum fork. I've heard that a carbon fork will really smooth out the ride on this bike.... I think my 260# will probably smooth out the ride :)
