Thanks guys. Keep the replies coming.

[MENTION=70770]Elvo[/MENTION]: I'll look into that stuff, thanks for the suggestions.

[MENTION=51085]kleng[/MENTION]: Thanks for the suggestion but that's not really what I'm after. I'm looking for a specific style of profile in my bike that I find so attractive I want to do sex things with it. lol. This bike's profile is what I'm talking about. I'm going to do it up in matte yellow with hot pink (go ahead, roll your eyes, I'll wait. Oh you're back, hi! ;P ) Oh god, I'm a hot mess, looking at that bike.

[MENTION=213347]ghostryder[/MENTION]: Aero frame, ok. Thanks, now I can start really narrowing stuff down. As for the tri-spoke, I'll be riding on main streets mostly, and they're plowed quite quickly after a regular snowfall (I've already wintered here once). In terms of the carbon fiber, I clean my bike every time I park it and I very, very rarely park it outside (I bring it inside to bike parking at school and a garage at home). So I'm hoping that the conditions here won't do too much damage if I take care of her. Having said that, I'm not really gunning for any specific material so, if I can find something in alum that looks like that and is quite light, I'd more than be willing to go for it. Honestly, weight is a concern: my current bike clocks in at 35lbs and it's a PITA. From what I've read, if I want to move into 15-20lbs territory, I have to really start paying for it and didn't think it was feasible on my budget. But if you think it is, I'll keep looking because, I'd love to have something that's between 15-20 lbs. Again, I'm new to building my own bike (I'll be going to a community ran bike store when it comes time to put it together so I can get some help but still do it myself) so I'm still learning weights and all the other stuff. It's hard to sift through the massive amount of info on forums/Google/expert sites... especially while also, supposedly, doing school-work.

As for colours, I figure I'll be painting stuff myself, especially if I buy second hand. Adds to the fun!
