I bought a cute little mid-range bianchi with a campy set up from bikes not bombs up in boston last winter. I got her so I could ride out to walden pond and the cape, etc.
since I moved down south, she's all I've been riding. I have to say its been a welcome relief on my weak knees (car accident 3 years ago broke bones in both knees).
I'm at the point where I'm nervous to get back on the fixed, I've gotten so comfortable with gears.
