I now I am very late to the party but just be sure you get a full ChroMO frame and fork.
I would look for a upperend Univega like a Via Carisma or Via Montega, but they seem hard to find. If you stumble across a Bianchi Project 3 or 5 they would make a great commuter. My Project 3 does almost anything!
