Good advice guys, thanks.

Ryand, keep an eye on the Toronto CL and tell us if there is anything on there that interests you; it is a slow time for bike sales right now (that Miyata for 85$ has been listed about 8 times now) and maybe the buyer would wait for you if one of us talked to them.

I had a Marinoni once, years ago, and it was a great bike, but I liked mountain bikes at the time, so I sold it. I didn't know anything about road bikes back then but I am guessing it was a higher end ride, probably SL or maybe even SLX. I used it for beer runs and I left it locked up in some very very shady places; ignorance really is bliss at times; now, I'd faint if I saw a Marinoni locked up at 4am in Chinatown.
