Bikes: '74 Raleigh LTD-3, '76 Motobecane Grand Jubile, '83 Fuji TSIII (customized commuter), '10 Mercier Kilo WT (fixed obsession), '83 Bianchi Alloro, '92 Bridgestone MB-1 (project), '83 Specialized Expedition (project), '79 Peugeot UO-8 (sold)

Don't get the Bergamont - unless you really want to drop a load of cash. I think there are probably better alternatives closer by (i.e. stateside).

The first one that pops into my head is the Bianchi Pista. Sure a load of freeloading teens ride them around nowadays, but doesn't change that Bianchi is one of the best bike-makers out there. There are a couple sweet versions - I really like the Via Brea.

Another couple of good bets (if you want a fully equipped bike) come from Raleigh. Check out the One Way or the Rush Hour Flatbar.

Both of those sites should have dealer locators, and they should be able to take it from there.
