Is there a lightning fast road bike out there who's only difference from a racer is the flat bar? I've seen the Cannondales and Scott Speedster Flat Bar bikes that look pretty good, but the rest seem to be more "bike trail" kind of bikes. What makes & models am I missing in my search?


Thanks much.
