Depends if you want to keep the Trek as a winter bike. If so, full carbon might be the way to go.

I like the look of the Viner. Full carbon with Campag Veloce and lots of Deda for a grand? Can't say fairer than that

Of course you could get about £200-250 for the Trek if you wanted but then even with £1300 you wouldn't want to use a carbon racer in the winter. I think that should have made the decision a bit easier?

The Viner makes a very appealing choice...

Perfect for what you want it for!
