i decided to pass the hipster road cycling thing of 'buy old heavy lugged frame, get it repainted, track down old half worn overpriced campag parts for other aficionados to stroke their beards at and buy a modern bike instead.
skipping this first step pays off if you want to do a lot of road miles and are more interested in not compromising performance for the sake of looks or nostalgia.
