All these are fast road bikes, but I'll post my humble touring bike. Heavy and slow, but I love it.

PS--See you swapped out the saddle and went with black bar tape. I've kept the original saddle and like it fine, though the longest I've ridden it was 62 miles and was happy to get off, though it wasn't awful. Loved the brown bar tape, and when I ripped it up in a crash, replaced it with something similar.
Anyway, I've been commuting through the winter out here, and while I have an old mountain bike set up to be a winter commuter, it's been mild enough to ride this the last couple of weeks. I'll tell you this much: riding this bike after a month on a 20 year-old steel hardtail mtb with unlockable front suspension and studded tires makes the Jamis feel like a rocket. A 30 lb. steel rocket, but a rocket nonetheless.

My Bike Nashbar budget frame build. Frame cost me $150 and I sourced parts from a factory defect complete bike. Got it down to around 16.5lb so far. It's a blast to ride regardless of what one may think of a frame so cheap.....

I've never owned a white road bike. Somehow, though, my Tri bikes have been nothing but white. And Canadian. Now that the fit's done I need to chop that steerer.

If you love the tires on the LTD, check out the tires on my winter bike.
(Got the tires for free, not going to buy tires just to get beat up on the winter roads)
