OK all, which is best of the three in your opinion? Possibly in line for one of these so would greatly value you opinions? ta[/b]

ok, maybe i should be more specific ... am worried about the huge aero rims you get on the madone, surely they'd be actually be highly impractical for everyday riding? for training wheels youd have to buy another sram cassette and some alloy clinchers or would you drop a level to the 6.5 and get some race x lites stock? Time VXR two pro teams used it last year have only heard good things about the frame, frame is lugged carbon and is nearly 200g lighter than the madone @ 915g, have heard that the ride is quite harsh but it can't be that bad if it is on the pro tour? Cant really find any info on the cinelli, anybody ever ridden a cinelli monocoque frame? cheers

The one that fits you and suits your riding style......in this sort of price bracket there's a huge choice - you could add something like a Viner Maximus available in custom geometry for no extra money.

thanks thats prob the best way to go about it.. its difficult to tell what each bike is speciffically good at? + am kinda limited to those three, as a little birdie reckons i might be able to get either of those three trade...

From those 3, I'd choose the Time - sublime ride quality from those I know who ride them - stiff enough for sprints and climbs, but doesn't beat you up.

birdy19 if you want a monocoque frame have you thought about a De Rosa King 3? Just bought and its a lovely frame.
