strange, http://www.raleighusa.com doesn't list a bike called "Pro" for 2003.

If memory serves correctly, Zona is a quality steel that has no specific weight limit, unlike the Foco. I'm sure someone who knows Columbus steel will chime in.

I assume you know exactly what size/geometry you need and that this bike fits you?

If it fits, you need it, and it's a good price... hell yeah. But I'm partial to steel.

Sounds like a $1000 bike. I hope the price you are getting is below that.

I would think you would want a smancier bike than that...

Way way way way below that !!!

Yeah , I'd like A Lot fancier than that , but with 2 kids in Braces it is not going to be happening for a while. it will replace my Trek 2200 Frame if I pull the trigger.

I would this is an decent frame, but I thought my $600 alu bike was adequate until I bought a Seven Ti...

I would probably shop around for a full carbon fork unless this is a commuter...

Until recently, I had a steel fork. I had no issues with it, so I'm gonna say a carbon fork with AL steerer won't be an issue.
