Hi,

Not buying from these shops, just to show you the spec!! any thoughts appreciated. The Wilier looks excellent in the flesh at my lbs!

    I'm a Wilier fan, but have to admit the Bianchi looks best specced....of course, that stands to reason though, given it's almost a couple of hundred more that the other options.

    I'm also a campag die hard but have to admit 105 groupset is tried and tested..what the hell am I saying :shock:

    The thing I noticed is that the Trek you linked to is the double crankset version. The other two seem to have compact gearing (the Bianchi definitely has). I would imagine this is the biggest practical difference between the bikes once you forget the price/spec difference and how well you fit the size/geometry. There is a triple version of the Trek available, but maybe if you are fit and strong from MTB riding you won't need that?
