It's my size, too. I was also tempted to look at that one. But I plan to use mine for a bit of light touring, so I really want rack mounts and to fit wider tires than that one.
This is the one I'm looking at this weekend: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/bik/5026757219.html
The wheelset drives me crazy (disc hubs built up with caliper brake rims, srsly?) and I'm not really a fan of the blue accents, but it's my dream frame and the perfect groupset... we'll see if I can talk him down to something I'm comfortable with, given everything I want to change up.

Ride one and you'll understand why. My dad has one that I get to ride occasionally, an old Teledyne Titan, and it's unreal how comfortable it is on rough roads, but still more efficient than steel when hammering, and so light.

I'm always tempted to buy Rapha stuff for the name, but I can never pull the trigger...they're just black bibs and a plain jersey. Same for Assos.
