I have a CrMo frame, Campy Record bike too and it's became art hanging on a wall in the house.

I've been riding my 29er mountain bike with street tires for a while, but I think it's time to start looking at getting back on a road bike.

So how do the carbon frames feel compared to a steel frame? I'd get a 58cm if that makes a difference in feel. Is there a reason not to buy a lower end carbon frame like Trek or Specialized's low end carbon?

Then there's which components to get. The SRAM stuff looks pretty good and is a little cheaper than the Shimano and of course Campy Record is off the chart. I read a review on the low end SRAM Rival group that said the latest stuff it's pretty good for the price. Anybody here have experience with SRAM?
