Road bike recommendations

Personnaly I would'nt go with steel for a training bike. Getting out in all weather is hard enough work without worrying about wiping down your bike after every wet ride.

A standard Ribble winter trainer would do me fine.

(not as nice as the casati though is is)

Mechanic have that at work, upgraded from his old Giant steel frame that was a little too long for him, it look pretty good and nice to ride.
