Haven't had a road bike since September (stupid BMW M3 opened his door when I came back from a 40mi sprint, only 2 miles away from home too ).
Anyways, picked up this beauty yesterday
2010 Trek 2.1 (52cm)

I was originally searching for a Giant, but my friend suggested this one. Got it on Craigslist for $900 (owner got it for $1300). Bought it from a guy in Astoria. Really cool guy; he owns a bike show in Manhattan, adjusted the seat, repositioned the stem and handlebars for a more aggressive ride.
So glad I have a working road bike again, it'll greatly help me with training, especially my leg speed for running. Might do local bike races if I can signup for any in the near future.
Rode the bike last night for about 5 miles, it felt great! If the wind dies down today, i'll take her out to Rahway or Edison.
