Hi,
I am looking to buy a road bike. Having been through websites and bicycle shops I have a choice of:
1/ Azzurri Uno 2006 - Shimano 105 components, 10 sp - $1650
2/ Gitane Mach 1800 - Shimano 105 components 9 sp - $ 1350
3/ Trek 1400 - Shimano 105 components 10 sp - $1999
I test rode the Gitane Mach 1800, but couldn't test ride the other two. Instead I was given the Azzurri Uno 2005 Shimano 105 9sp and Trek 1200 Shimano Tiagra to test ride.
The Azzurri thus seems better. However, it is a brand name I have not heard of and there are only two or three posts on cycling.net.au which mention Azzurri. I cannot find any reviews on the net speaking good or bad.
It would be great if people could tell me of their experience with any of these bikes or companies. Please let me know if you:
* Have any opinions, comparisons, comments on these bikes
* Know of any other dealers who can supply the same bike for cheaper
* Know of any other bikes that fall in the price range
I live in Melbourne.
Regards,
Neeraj
