i don't really have a budget, but i don't want to buy more bike than i need. i have zero expectations of ever racing. i'd like something nice for training, and group rides like the MS150. i've never had a road bike. i'm 5'11'', 190lbs, with average proportions. i'd probably spin 80-90 rpms and between 15-20mph.
also, in general, why pick a compact versus traditional frame design, or vice versa?
do carbon forks really dampen road vibration much (especially at the modest speed i'd be traveling)?
