Hi,
I'm new to this bike buying stuff, my head's done in and I'm frozen by analysis paralysis. [img]cyclingforums.com.auconfused.gifOpen ↗[/img] I can't make up my mind between the following:
Avanti Carbonio Elite (I think its an '05 model), full carbon, full Ultegra, Mavic Ksyrium wheelset, $3k;
Pinarello Galileo, aluminium with carbon rear & fork, full Ultegra, R550 wheelset, $3.1k;
Azzuri Primo, full carbon, full Ultegra, R550 wheelset, $2.8k
Bianchi Via Nirone, aluminium with carbon seat stay & fork, Campag Veloce, Ambrosio wheels, $2.6k.
I suspect that any of them would be just fine, but I'd be grateful for comments or suggestions. I don't race, it's just commuting and training. I may do a triathlon or two this summer. The romantic would like to try Campy gear but it's not driving the decision. I want a good bang for buck, but more importantly something that I won't be wanting to replace inside 5 years.
