The Revenio 3.0 is on my not-so-short list (currently 8 bikes long). In my market, the bigger of the shops that sell the Raleighs price them at about $1100, putting them a good $150-$200 less than all the competition, and with a complete 105 group where many substitute Tektro brakes. It sure looks like an unbeatable value. As soon as they get some more in the shop that are my size, I'm going to test ride one. Maybe this weekend. Not sure how I feel about its rather, um, distinctive appearance, though.
I've decided that even though my budget is tight, it needs to stretch to the point where I can get 105 components. My last road bike had 600 stuff (the precursor to Ultegra), but it's 20+ years old, so I figure stepping down one level to the current 105 may actually still be an improvement for me. Going lower than that, I'm afraid, might not be.
