why not just upgrade to a quality classic bike? Admitedly a Grand Prix is a steel tank but you can get some incredible top of the line vintage bikes for a pitance compared to the ridiculous prices they suck people in for for the "current" lines. Yeah, vintage bikes weigh more but unless you are competing and have already shed every extra pound of weight on your body, it's kind of foolish to spend $2000 more to save a couple pounds of bike weight. Some of the vintage Italian bikes have incredible frames and classic components. With the exception of indexed shifting (highly debatable as a 'feature' for non-kids and non-racers) there really have not been all that many "improvements" in bikes in many, many years.
