Nice. I still have my 1990 Cannondale Criterium 3.0. Decked out with Campy wheels and full Dura Ace. That bike is a razor blade.

I just got a giant defy advanced 2, normally $1995 for $1600 for the 2018 model. Carbon bike, tubeless tires, 105 group set, and hydraulic disk brakes. For the money, could not come close to that with the other brands.

Update: Purchased a nice used Ridley Helium SL. A very nice machine. New Continental GP 4000 II black tires to be installed.

Excellent!
The Aliante saddle is also a favorite!

Nice. Anyone else should check out the Litespeed closeouts too. The bottom is cheaper

https://litespeed.com/collections/closeouts

My favorite brand but way out of my range for my limited biking.

Dammmmmmm...$12,000 for a bicycle? Well, I guess it's OK since it's marked down to $8K.

I thought $500 was a bit high for a 1974 Gitane Super Corsa.

I bought it and still have it.
