Would like to add another road bike to the herd, something light, fast and Italian.... Kinda sounds like when some of my friends start talking cars, except the bikes are way cheaper

First thing I would do the the Ross, switch those stem shifters out for downtube clamp-ons, I hate column shifters.....
