Condo Ridin'
I picked up my new (2008) Kona Ute today. Wouldn't you know that it was the first heavy snow we had on the west side of Cleveland? The Ute rode like a dream through about 2" of snow.
My son, Gus, and I like to ride our bikes around the duplex. He has a Specialized Hot Walk and mine is the B.U.S.S. (Big Urban Single Speed). I wasn't sure how the Ute's extra-long wheelbase would go in our tight space, but it really was quite agile. Don't try this with a kid trailer...

Giant TCR ADVANCED SL TEAM (ISP)
Not to be outdone by the bike of two weeks ago (Specialized SL2) - Giant's top-of-the-line TCR ADVANCED SL TEAM is every bit the high end competitor.
Again, ultra-light carbon fiber frame, Dura-Ace 7900 and Shimano handlebar system, excellent use of aerodynamics and specific weight-saving parts, one of the finest wheelsets available, and so it goes.
The Giant is $500 cheaper (at $8000) than the Specialized - plenty of wiggle room for pedals and a computer. Enjoy:
