Hello, I am currently looking for a new road bike. My last road bike was a 2002 Lemond Beunos Aires, which I liked but I sold it last year to get a recumbent. I am now thinking of getting a road bike again. I am looking in the 1k - 1.3K price range and have narrowed my choices down to the Imola and Quest because I like steel better than AL.
Does anyone have any experience with these bikes? I am going to test ride a Quest tommorrow, but I won't be able to test the Imola because all the Bianchi dealers in the my area do not stock them. The Quest looks like a better deal on paper because of lighter weight and better components.
I know everyone will say - "test ride each one and see what you like best". I am just looking for some feedback from owners.
