Any thoughts on this?

At the moment I have a Caad 9 CX bike for training, commuting and a bit of CX, and an AR1 for racing bike. I'm looking for something in between, which I can do miles on a nice sunny summers day or race midweek where I have to take my bike to work and leave it in the office racks in the basement.

I've narrowed it down to one of these two - have a full Ultegra grouppo, fulcrum racing 3s and the remaining bits at home, just looking for advice from current / prior owners or bike lovers!

Price wise, the Izoard is £200 more at £899, but that's not really an issue to me if it's the right bike.

    Ok, no biters then.

    How about this one - anyone race (now or previously) a pre-2011 Izoard? Is it stiff enough for crits/circuits? Reviews seem to say it's a good bike for "getting in to racing", due you think that is due to the frame or the wheel/components?
