With cyclescheme open at work and a nice 14 mile commute down country lanes I couldn't really resist something new 
a trip to the LBS (Bikes-n-gear) and I was instantly smitten with the Marin Argenta.
It's more of an upright position than other frames and whatever they have done to the rear stays definitely does the job of damping road noise. I also swapped the standard Alex Rims for my 501's. It wont be everyone's cup of tea, but it suits me perfectly. The quality is supurb and the weld is amazingly smooth.
