Budget is $4,000 ideally, maybe up to $5,000. Riding style is weekend group rides, occasional fast solo rides, and group/charity centuries. No racing for me. I came from a carbon roadie and an aluminum tri bike but am seriously contemplating steel...

I do have an R3 on my mind just in case - I am going back and forth but am very interested in going steel or ti.

Seven and Serotta custom options are available, but those are just our of budget range, I beleive.

Interested to hear what people recommend.= given my budget.
