Mid-range 853 road bike options

[David]

Looking for options for an 853 (or equiv.) road bike in a similar price/quality range as the lemond
and jamis models. Those particular brands are not an option as they sponsor rival teams. I'm looking
for something that's available either as a frameset or complete dura-ace bike. I am also considering
high end steel bikes (steelman/IF/landshark) but would like to also explore options in a slightly
lower price range (i.e. larger production volume).

We're very happy with Gunnar road frames. Size and color to choice in a week or two .

In the grand tradition of cycle racing, the right thing to do is to buy the Jamis and put your
sponsor's decals on it. Making up your own brand is fun; how about "rbt", in honour of this forum?

I saw a Gunnar the other day for the first time and examined it closely. A new riding partner has
one. Worth a look.
