Thanks for the advise. Upon lots of further research I'm basically keeping an eye out for anything in my range that is double butted or better, chromoly, columbus, reynolds, shimano 105, 600, dura-ace. I've got a fair idea of what brands and models to look at now. Miyata seems like an easy one to fine since they were all chromoly double/triple butted. Just having an issue finding a near 58-frame size in the right bike. Tons of awesome options for short people lol.

I just found a Vitus 979 on CL, priced a bit to high for me but I'm going to see if he'll deal on it. I'm 6' 170lbs so I dont think itll be too noodlish for me
