If you like Cdale, why not look at the F600? It was on my list, but my LBS that carries Cdale would not negotiate the price (you might have more luck with your LBS):

Also the Trek 6700 is around the same price range as the F600:

Or you could spend a bit less and buy the bike I got, the Trek 6500 Disc:

If you want FS, the Trek Fuel 80 is a good buy, if you get a large enough discount:

So I take it you're a triathlete? Corima has some sick designs btw.

Yes, trying the Litespeed this year, first time on titanium. Hoping it won't affect the run after those long rough rides.

Jon, this is wrong on so many levels I scarcely have the energy to try. WTF are you doing riding your bike in sand traps? Aren't there more suitable venues for your amusement?

Not that close to my house

.

Seriously though, the local bike park closed after the hurricane, and all the trees have been removed, and I am pretty sure that they are going to pave it and make a mini mall, or something (damn it). Consequently, the closest park is now a mere 25 miles away...

And why is it wrong to bike on a golf course?

As I said, I don't have the energy.

Dude, if you keep on posting that you don't have the energy, than obviously you do have the energy but perhaps you can't actually find anything to "˜reprimand' me for.
