Well, went to look at that Miele and talked the guy down a little bit and took the bike home with me. I went in expecting to find something that would turn me off of it after the advice I got here, but either it's a pretty solid bike or I'm just a lousy shopper. Checked everything for cracks, chips or dents and found nothing, no rust anywhere, hardly a scratch on it and the teeth on the cassette and chainrings look good as new. Even went so far as to check the sidewalls of the rims for wear and it all looks to be in better shape than my current bike (which admittedly has seen a lot of use the past two seasons) so I picked it up for less than the 400 the guy was asking for. I'll have pictures up when I wrap the new bars (old bars were something bizarrely small like 38cm or so) but for the purposes of a solid geared bike for occasional use and racing I think I'm going to be really happy with this bike. Took it for a test spin today before putting it away until the weather gets better and it rides really nice.
