That's cool....
If/When I ever decide to get with the times and buy something new, I would want something like this:
- Alum or Steel frame.
- 9 sp, 10 sp, 11 sp cassette -- no preference.
- Comfortable ride -- I can't see myself racing with aerobars or the bars themselves slammed down on the steering tube and my seatpost way up in the air.
- Toe clips -- sorry, I won't go clipless. Ain't gonna happen.
- No twitchy type of ride. Something laid back and relaxed, where you can enjoy the scenery as you ride by.
