I've been looking for a new road bike with a $3,000 budget. After looking at endurance vs race bikes, I preferred the race orientation more. I tested Trek, Cannondale, Specialized, Giant, Raleigh, Bianchi, Scott and a few others I can't remember right now. I narrowed it down to the Trek Madone, Cannondale Supersix EVO and the Specialized Tarmac due to feel and the availability at my LBSs. But everytime I rode the Cannondale Supersix EVO, I felt like I was home.

I have to go to my preferred LBS Monday on my way home from work for a tune up on my old bike. I plan on pulling the trigger on the Cannondale Supersix EVO 3 Ultegra. They have one in a box in stock and quoted me a price of $2,600+ tax, extensive fitting included. I thought this was a good price, especially after looking at prices on the web today.

I'm pretty excited about it.
