New Ride
Looking into getting a new bike to commute to work with. I have been watching a few on Ebay. Looking for what people think about them. If they are a good deal, good components ect.

Meh. You should buy the Gios road frame the Steamroller dude is selling.

ok, I figured I should also post something possibly remotely helpful.
that gios frame is sweet, but yeah, not what you're looking for so moving on...
I like the "oldness" (apparently they call this "vintage"(?)) of the Bottechia, but nothing else about it making me crazy.
Lemond is nice, but that's about all. just nice. and possibly overrated.
conclusion: go for the steamroller. a quality unpretentious solid ride.
