well, two things keep me from buying it RIGHT NOW:

1) after biking for an hour my back was real sore. I have a long history of back problems, so i need to get stronger before i can start riding long rides regularly in the road-bike position.

2) $2000 bike....on sale. I'm a grad student still recovering from the cost of my hybrid. Give me a couple years and a teaching position, then I can justify the expense (as long as I don't get a car).
