Not looking for a "race bike" (in which case I'd most likely be limited to ERTRO 622, anyways) or anything too precious - "sport casual" may describe it well: The intended use will be mostly commuting and weekend training rides, so it really just needs to be solid and somewhat peppy. In this role. it will be replacing a Bridgestone 600 (circa 1983), FWIW.
