Why is the moon bright, it's almost like starring into a light bulb?
i really like Cervelo's. just very comfortable and wonderful to ride. Cannondale is a fine choice as well, my brother prefers his cad 5. Motobecane's are good rides. hit up a local shop and get fitted and see what a professional has to say about each frames geometry, because they all differ a bit and you need what is most comfortable for you rather than what i like. Enjoy you new ride, Bob Cordiak
$300 I was about to laugh. For commuting only I would get a hybrid. It is a road bike but the handlebars are more comfy. As for brands that is very personal. But you can't go wrong with a specialized or trek. I would go to a couple local shops and take a look and sit on a few. for 3k you can get an amazing bikefull carbon etc. Buy what feels good.
Hmmm I'm not sure about your model, but I thought typically the two stone shaprener is just a general knife shapener not a slicer blade shapener. If the sharpening stones are facing the blade, then yes, while the machines is running you squeeze the stones together.
Doug's suggestion of the Giant is the best so far, but I have a few more. Check out the all-carbon Douglas Matrix Dura-Ace bike at Colorado Cyclist. It's on sale for $2,100. You'd have what you're looking for and $900 left over. They also sell Giants, but not by mail order, and have the excellent Ultegra equipped TCR 2 on sale for $2,499. Finally, for a really incredible value, look at the carbon Motobecane Immortal Spirit (Dura-Ace) at Bikes Direct for only $2,000 delivered. You'd be hard pressed to match that deal anywhere. Good luck, and congratulations. One less car!
