you're gonna LOVE this bike! i've ridden one just like it in a similar size and it's just about as good as any bike gets with columbus' neuron nivacrom oversized tubeset and mondonico's signature geometry.

if i were you, i'd be looking for closeout deals on silver alloy 2003-06 campagnolo 10 speed centaur derailleurs/brifters, veloce or centaur brakes & square taper crankset,btm-bkt, casette,etc., add some fulcrum racing 7 or campy vento wheels and ride the begeezus outta her.
(then starting saving up for the mondonico steel fork).

there's folks out there that would kill for a setup like that. fyi-you've got a true modern handbuilt classic from one of the world's finest framebuilders.
