If you are talking about frame only, I would consider the Kestrel Evoke. Frame and fork should be dollars under $2000

MSRP or actual price paid? I got my 06 Fuji Team Pro for $1500 plus 10% back with Team Performance points. Full carbon with Ultegra/Dura-Ace, but Shimano 550 wheels.

B) Since it's the internet and all of us are 6'8" and 300lbs with 3% body fat, we aren't scared. We're also all black belts in Muay Thai. Every member of this forum trains together. (That's how we met and decided to start a forum)

And I agree with rad... at 230 lbs, you're not going to be doing a lot of beating up of anybody if you can't catch them.

And dude, quit acting like a three year old. Or I will put you over my knee and spank you a$$!
I was going to be helpful and defend your writing/typing skills but now go ride your big wheel and leave road cycling to the men!
