I have a Trek antelope 830 that works well and has never let me down except when i wanted to be down, I rode that bike as a bike messenger in Chicago so you know it has a lot of miles on it. Its purple and green and I substituted down tube shifters because I am more used to shifting that way, my current road bike is a Peugot Course that is silver well bluish silver grey metalic and I paid an awesome fifty dollars for used. the front derailleur is wrong (triple) and am trying to figure out how to put an SR La prade seat post into the bike just because I like them. turn it down by 1.7 mm and put another tube inside to strengthen what is left (1.7 x 2 = 3.4mm overall leaving the 26.8 as a 23.4 which is what the Peugot takes. and a double chain wheel front derailleur so it wont go clank clank clank when I am on the big ring.
