Thanks for all of the info. I've received a lot of great suggestions. I currently have a Waterford Sport Touring, and I really enjoyed my experience, so I'm going to go back to them for a SR-22. My ST-14 was the first serious bike I've purchased as an adult, and I got it last Oct. thinking that I would gradually get into the sport and ride mostly for leisure, fitness, etc. Well, this Spring I started riding with a group and this weekend rode in my first race. I'm now looking to grow my stable by one with a more dedicated road/race bike.

I appreciate the inclusion of the SRAM idea above as that's what I currently use and enjoy (Rival).

A Centaur gruppo. About $710.

An Athena gruppo. About $890.

I'm sure you could beat these prices, I know I have on the Campy Centaur gruppo by a mile.

Choices, choices.

Any of these I just mentioned would work well for entry level Cat 4 racing.

They are going to get mushed in the first crash anyway.

Back to the op, what custom builder are you considering?
