R/N i am looking specifically at the Windsor Fens with 105 for all drivetrain... . I currently have a Rampar R one that i scored for 50 bucks on CL, and it is in near perfect shape, i know it is a 'gaspipe' frame but works well enough that i wouldn't bother with a walmart bike. My experience with road bikes is kind of limited as i have ridden this one, a total crap ten speed that i gave away, and my brother's badass Scot *Speedster* S w full 105. I am looking to upgrade to something more modern, STI is a must, but i only really need it to last the next three or so years because with any luck when i get out of school i will be able to afford a serious bike and price won't be such a limiting factor. With that in mind, the BD one seems the way to go, but it will be a signifigant investment for me, so i want to know if i am totally wrong in this line of thought.

P.S. at the same time i am always checking CL for a good deal on a name brand bike as well.
