I cried like a little girl when my Bontrager race lite was stolen.

My "road" bikes (Bianchi Pista and Lemond Poprad) are both steel.

Congratulations, dragoon. I have heard great things about that model. I was planning to start my commute in my new marin four corners on Monday, but it just snowed three inches. Looks like I'll wait a week or so.
