Besides how sweet the 08 Eastern Element looks (esp. white)....anyone have any thoughts on it. I ride flat mostly but want to pick up a nice street bike because my flat can't take it. I'm 5'11" 180 but am used to a smaller TT obviously, so no need to worry about too small of a TT. Figured I'd ask you street guys for some good suggestions for that under $450 range.
Also, I'm not completely opposed to buying a custom complete if someone has got one their willing to sale, but I'm more interested in a good solid frame than a mediocre frame with awesome parts. Like I said, just dabbling in street riding to offset my flat tendencies.
Thanks for any and all suggestions, don't hesitate to throw it out there because I'm going to take this week to really narrow it down.

That looks like a pretty solid bike, but historically complete bikes don't come with the best frames.
Also, I'm not personally a fan of frames with all that material milled out.
It will probably hold up just fine for a while without any problems, but if you want a GOOD frame, buy it separate, or buy a custom complete from someone.
