Time for an upgrade- need help
 

so it is that time, NEW BIKE TIME.

After a year or so of reliable use, I have decided to hang my cleats up on my conversion and buy something newer, faster, and smoother.

Here is an older pic of the gal (i put a new riser on it and some oury grips since this was taken):

Anyway, after the sale of this bike and some cash i have saved up i have just shy of $500 to get a new bike. (I kept my sylvan pedals, mks clips, ritchey risers, oury clips, and brooks saddle).

My question to you all is some suggestions on a new bike, i have been racking my brain on what to get and I keep coming back to the langster (as i recently rode my friends on 30m trip and I really liked it).

Any thoughts or suggestions would be very much welcomed....

dang that's a great looking bike!
I'd say look for used deals on a Cannondale Capo (Look for the older version in all black or silver not the new junky parts version they sell now). They are really great frames. Super stiff but comfy at the same time. I found it on ebay for $450 shipped before I upgraded parts
Here was my old one (I sold it because it was a bit too big for me)

save up a little more and get IRO angus.

Or that new blue Kilo TT and upgrade some parts.

IRO's are on sale till the 23rd

well i was kind of interested in the whole aluminum frame avenue. I like the IROs, but to me if i am going to go with classic geometry and a steel frame i might as well go a pure conversion.
