Hi,

I have been looking for a new road bike for a while and am now settling on the Trek Madone 2.1 H2 Compact 2014 for £900 but was wondering if anyone could agree or disagree with this choice. I almost bought the Wilier Izoard XP 2014 for £1040 but decided against Carbon because I don't think I would look after it well enough. Also, there are a lot of people that say downtube roof carriers should not be used. Wilier even agreed with this.

I will mainly be cycling for fitness and fun (anything up to 100 miles or so). Possible throw in some club runs, TT's and charity rides. I live in a fairly hilly area too. Is the Trek a good choice or should I go for something else? Don't really want to go over £900.

Thanks
