I'll do 105/Rival if the bike is right (and any Campy or any Shimano/SRAM above 105/Rival). The last part is (no judgments, please, and I mean no offense) I want a bike that isn't super common (so no Trek, Specialized, Giant, etc.). Just want something different.

Rode these so far:
Kuota Kharma/105--seemed very good (and it's beautiful), but it's a tad heavy.
Look 566/105--relaxed, comfortable, but not super exciting.
Focus Cayo Carbon/105--seemed lighter, but I know nothing about them aside from what I've found online.
Pinarello FP2/105--heavy and just not that exciting for me. Felt like nothing special.

Any other suggestions in that price range? Thanks!
