Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Ill be happy if I ever find a comfy saddle.

DeRosa Idol without a doubt. I would give a nod to the Wilier GTR and the Canyon Ultimate though. (It would have to be Campy equipped so the Canyon would probably lose out quickly. They do sell frames only but they ask too much for it)

I have a few on the list as possible...Carbon Giant Propel with Ultegra because the bike frame looks good. Trek Domane 5.9 with Ultegra Di2 because it would be awesome and I wouldn't mind electronic shifting.

Or, you could do like me and get a Motobecane Gran Premio Elite from BD. I'll probably be ordering one next week.

The Propel's integrated brakes rub on wheels and they are a pain to get them aligned esp if you swap wheels. Resolution is buy third party brakes (Fouriers) but new models should have this fixed.

Two excellent choices. I thought long and hard about the Argon 18 before my last bike purchase.

I'd be very interested in a review of this if you get one...especially how it rides compared to the "real thing", and what it's assembled weight is. It will probably be at least this fall at the earliest before I get anything. I looked at the Bikes direct, but feel like at this point in my riding I could benifit from the hands-on advice and repeated tuning of a local bike shop. My long term tentative plan is to get the comp within the next year, then possibly upgrade wheels and groupset to 105 sometime down the road, spreading the expense over the next 3-5 years. For me, the 900 is a lot of money, saving up 1600 of "fun money" would take multiple years.

I compared the Quest Comp, quest sport, and ventura Comp at a local bike shop (they didn't have an Elite), and really loved the way the quest comp rode...I'm hesitant to get a bike sight unseen.

...I also really like the feel of the Jamis Sport touring saddle...Which I can get included with the quest comp at the LBS...Who knows whether I would like the Bikes direct saddle or not?

Good choices! Which one do you think is a better aluminum frame and has a more comfortable ride? Would be nice to test both of these. I suppose Cannondale is the company everyone relates the best aluminum too but maybe Trek did something special with the ALR. The ALR6 definitely looks better. the Cannondale is smothered in prints and logos.
