merckx century is certainly what I would suggest, also. It's going to be more in the range of de rosa or colnago. The Century I had was an amazing frame. I sold it(wish I hadn't, now) because I wanted an all out racing frame. The century, as many of the later steel merckx bikes handled beautifully & could go all day. Merckx Geometry employed a relaxed seat tube angle to smooth out the ride. It varies from model to model, size to size. I put 130 miles of mountains on that bike, in one day. I have never felt as fresh, after such a long, tough ride. On any bike of any material. It truly was a "century" bike.
