Advice please! Can't decide between these two road bikes...

Hey

I'm looking to buy a new road bike and have narrowed it down to two options:

1) Roux's Vercors R9 - http://www.rouxbikes.co.uk/road-bikes/vercors-r9

or

2) BMC Teammachine ALR01 105 2016 Road Bike - https://www.evanscycles.com/bmc-teammac ... e-EV233467

You'll probably gather after finding them that I'm quite fond of a red and black colour scheme haha. I don't want to spend over a grand and I'm torn between the two but if there are any other bikes that you guys would recommend (particularly if they have a red and black colour scheme :P) go ahead and let me know!

Much appreciated.

It's got to be the BMC...

Any bike with full 105 at this price is pretty good value but for it to be also be a BMC I don't see how you can look past it.

Not quite full 105 - RS500 crankset and BR561 brakes....

Yeah just spotted that, but at least it's still Shimano.

Still a no brainer for me, BMC all the way.

The R9 is much prettier though!

You must be able to get a Supersix somewhere for well under a grand.
What size do you need ?
