Gook luck and let us know how you make out in your search.
I must admit that I had a great deal of enjoyment doing the research, then test riding, and finally evaluating all of the input I received on this Forum. It also didn't hurt that the LBS treated me well and spent a good deal of time fitting me out. I had not been on a road bike for many years (things sure changed a lot) and I guess it showed.
Hope you have a good experience too. Again, keep us posted.
