i mention this because i was in a similar position; i have a bianchi san jose which i enjoy for its versatility (use it for commuting, some leisure rides, trips around town), but lately i've been wanting a faster, more aggressive bike. i ended up getting a kilo tt because of the steeper geometry and it will be primarily used as a 2nd bike for those faster group or solo training rides. i got something more specific because i knew i was going to keep two bikes around.
I live in downtown Boston. Any bike I have is used for getting around the city. My new build-up will be no different. That said, I also just like cruising around the city for fun, and also like longer rides out into the suburbs. I will prolly keep the Redline, so that might be a better choice for distance rides, as I know it has "relaxed" geometry, what ever the hell that means. Like I said, I don't know much about bike geometry. Thoughts? And Thanks very much for the input, BTW.
