Spend $150 more and get an Ultegra equipped alluminum bike with a carbon fork.

Either here: http://www.supergo.com/itemdisplay.asp?parentid=21785&secid=7559&subid=7

Personally, if I were looking to get a moderately priced road bike, I'd pick up this one:

You can also find new Fuji Team bikes on eBay every day going for a lot less.

But, that's only after trying out literally dozens of other bikes and spending years riding older
(1992 and 2000) Fuji Teams. No better bang for the buck IMHO. Read the reviews on
www.roadbikereview.com for confirmation.

BTW, you might want to post this to r.b.marketplace, as it would be more on topic in that group.

Hope this helps,
