I of course do want new, however, my mind says "shiney!" and my wife keeps me grounded, which I am thankful for. Since I am new to the sport I just bought a MTB and love it. I am just venturing into road, so I am not sure how that will go. I want to do longer distances. Did 60 on the mtb. I can't ride the Bottecchia, just don't think I can deal withe the shifters on the down tube. I can pick up the cannondale for about 800 and I like that idea over a few grand for the Dura Ace on a new one. I am keeping my options open.
