Did my first century on one of these with cyclocross tires. I like the suggestions of running your current bike for another year. You will have a better idea of what you want, there will be more options available, and likely a better price.

That's what I did. I rode my first (and second) century on my Vilano hybrid. This year I plan to ride it on my Trek road bike, and I suspect I'll make much better time.
