Is this "2014 Scattante CFR LE" a good bike?

Hi everyone, I'm planning to buy a new carbon road bike for competitions(it has to be good but not a PRO bike or a 10000$ bike), I 've watching some bikes and the 2014 Scattante CFR LE seems to be good, with a 105 groupset(http://www.performancebike.com/bikes/Pr ... 15__400315)
Here's some picks:



Do you think it is good or would be better a 2013 Fuji Altamira 2.0 LE?
Thank you very much

Scattante is Performance Bike's own-brand - as Performance Bike only operate in the US and this board is predominantly UK-based, you're unlikely to find many folks with any direct experience - try Roadbikereview.

Thank you, but how do you see the frame, it could work as a racing bike?

The bike has drop bars, so could definitely work as a racing bike.

The lack of pedals could be a problem though.

Down to you as a rider and whether you can get yourself into a decent position i.e. does the frame geometry suit you? - headtube looks longish if you're after a performance-oriented position, but probably fine if you're new to riding.

Of course I am a rider, but the problem is that the bike is on USA and I am in Peru, so that is why I need help, sadly I don't know too much about geometry
