Thank you everyone for the great ideas!
I went to a local shop that I've never been to.
I spoke to the owner on the phone and got a good feeling, so I checked it out.
It was a fantastic shop, great owner, in a location I wouldn't have imagined.
Hung around for a few hours getting sized and trying bikes, ended up having a beer with the owner at his favorite restaurant!
He offered me a KILLER deal on an 07 Orbea Onix (Mirage Group) 1800 otd!
I really wanted it, but I wanted at least Veloce group. (the Shimano equipped Onyx was about 300 more)
Long story short, he made me a unrefusable great deal on my dream machine:
So I had to do it, I ordered my first real road bike!
2006 Bianchi 928 Carbon Veloce Black/White/Celeste
I'll post real pics when it arrives some time next week!
Now pedals......saddle.....
