Check Out My New Bike!
Here is my new Bike!
I only had a budget of $1200 and my focus was getting the very most value and performance for my money.
It is a 2002 Raleigh R700
7005 Butted Aluminum Frame
Carbon Fiber Fork
Full Shimano Ultegra Double
ITM Mantis Bars and Stem
Easton EC70 Carbon Fiber Seatpost
Selle Italia ProLink Tri-Gel Saddle
Shimano WH-R535 Wheelset
Michelin Axial Pro 700 x 23c Tires
Cateye OS 1.1 Computer
Zipp Carbon Fiber Spacers
Total Weight is around 18 lbs.
I've only had one 50 mile ride on it and I am pleased beyond words. Looking forward to many many more.
It rides like a dream. Very Quick and Responsive!
Best Regards,
Logan

It'd be the R540 now, though they are the same as the R535. No R740, you would step up to the 7700 or 7701 wheelsets. R535/540 wheelsets are more compliant than say a Ksyrium, but are a bit heavy and a pain to true (sometimes you need to remove the cassette), though they stay pretty much spot on for most of our customers.
