I test rode a new bike today. 2007 Serotta Fierté Ti. Or is it a 2008? Titanium frame with carbon fiber fork, seatstays and seatpost. Shimano Ultegra components. (Fierté is French for pride; I had to look it up :-)Nice ride. Good price.
This bike is a full 2.9 pounds lighter than my current bike! (And I weighed both bikes myself; I didn't rely on marketing materials or web searches.) My Bianchi Veloce is a steel bike that I've had for nine years and over 30,000 miles. Holy cow, nine years. It's definitely time for a new one.
