Hmmpf... you've been on the board for 14 years and haven't figured out what your dream bike is yet?
You've got a lot of options.
.
- Comfort (Specialized Roubaix) or Trek Decoupled?? vs Performance (Specialized Tarmac, etc).
- Brands... Specialized, Trek, Colnago, Bianchi, Cannondale, Lynskey, Litespeed, & various "house" brands.
- Groupset (Campagnolo, Shimano, SRAM all have electronic shifting).
- Materials (Carbon Fiber, Aluminum, Steel, Titanium, etc).
Start narrowing it down a bit as to what you desire. Then if you choose to purchase locally at a LBS, cruise around and see what you can find. If you are in a small town, then perhaps a trip to Chicagoland.
Even if you buy local, you'll probably end up ordering custom. Try a "Bike Fit" before you drop the dough.
Trek Project One?
What about online bikes? Even Ribble has their own line of bikes. REI COOP?
