Good advice. Just one more question: by carbon did you mean the entire frame is made of carbon or just the fork? I find aluminum frame with carbon fork. Is that it? Thanks again.

Yep. Should be able to find carbon bike and fork and Shimano 10-speed combo. Here's an example which I googled up: Jamis Xenith Endura Sport Bike 2015 > Bikes > Road Bikes | Jenson USA

Google really is your friend.

Bikes: Too damn many to list, seriously.

I know this is not the SS/FG forum, but since so many are responding about SS/FG choices, I was wondering about opinions of the Aventon Cordoba. They list it at 17 lbs for $459. Seems too good to be true, but the reviews I've read sound pretty good.
