Hi, need your help. I am looking to buy a new bike. Currently I have Trek 1.2 and need something lighter and better. I have three potential candidates; Scott Addict 10 (Dura-Ace), Cervelo R3 (Ultegra), Specialized Diverge Expert (Ultegra)
As a background, I ride about 6000miles a year. No racing, mostly solo and group rides (once a week). One 60+mile ride everyweek week. I like riding hills but not particularly interested going fast downhill. I am 1.93m and 85kilos. I am planning to test ride three bikes soon. Which one should I pick?
I am also open to other suggestions. Thanks in advance.

As I read it, you have 4 bikes and want to buy a fifth?
You indeed need help......0 -
Check out some of the Italian brands - their prices are much more competitive these days and the performance/quality is second to none!!
If you want mainstream, then Colnago, Pinarello, De Rosa, Wilier, Bianchi
If you fancy something more customised and designed around you, then Sarto or Tommasini or Epoca!
Good luck

You should maybe go to the Pinarrelo shop in Manchester an slap down £10k on Sky replica, it would do your ego so much0 -

Sorry for the misunderstanding folks, my bad English. No, I don't have three bikes. I only have Trek 1.2. I have updated the post accordingly.0 -

ah OK
probably best to concentrate on the frame and the wheels!
Shimano have made the 105/Ultegra/Dura Ace more or less the same, different materials etc - but the difference in performance is negligible between the 3
We recently built a Colnago C60 with 105 5800 - it kept the price down - but the customer is now riding a great frame which has meant a great level of enjoyment this past summer
- and he can upgrade down the line if he ever feels the need 0
