I Want a New Road Bike

Here's my criteria:
  1. Frame: Carbon. I got my first (and only) carbon frame back in 2000 (Look 261) and I really like how it feels on the road. Having ridden aluminum and steel previously, I think carbon suits me best.
  2. Geometry: Should be race-worthy. I plan to race it, (although this season may be a bust...) so it should have race-oriented geometry.
  3. Drivetrain: Campagnolo. This would be helpful because my current setup has Campy and I could use some of my old parts, if needed.
  4. Price: around $3,000
  5. Brand: I may get accused of being a snob here, but I would really like something a little different and not ubiquitous (i.e. Trek and Specialized). Maybe something French or Italian...
Here are a few of my current considerations: 












Any other recommendations??

    There's plenty more out there. While your ideas are fine, these are all still very mainstream.

    Cheers

    Uli -

    I like the blog!
    Yeah, I know those are still pretty common, but around these parts, all you see are Trek, Specialized and Cannondale.

    I'm kinda torn between the Bianchi and the Look...
