And Campag, don't take this the wrong way- I'm not ignoring your advice (or yours, Bacci), I haven't decided to buy another bike yet, but I may down the road... especially as my LBS looks to make room for next year's models. If I do... what is a fair price for a brand new SL2 Tarmac Elite Rival? My LBS has one in my size that he offered to me for $1900 yesterday. But knowing the SL4's are just around the corner, I wonder if a better deal could be had on the SL2?
FWIW, I'll be on the Roubaix again tonight.
Don't think you are ignoring my advice. I encourage you to buy many bikes. I even believe in horses for courses...including TT bikes...I am thinking about picking one of those up for the type of riding I do. Its all good really. Is there a best solution for anybody? Probably. But you don't know what that is for you until you live it and that means owning different types of bikes and bikes with different geometries. You can't virtually decide on best fit...you have to experience it.
