noisebox, that's quite a step up, from whatever you had before. I looked up the specs of that model. Very fancy and capable indeed. So are those frame tubes steel? I see the fork has carbone blades and an aluminum steerer tube. And the list price is $2050. Wow.

I really like Specialized's higher models. I think they make excellent bikes, despite the fact that their name ("Specialized") sounds so stupid to me.
