Hi, buying my first carbon frame road bike and pondering between these two, Wilier GTR endurance with campag Athena groupset or a Bianchi intenso with ultegra gs, both very good condition, thought the intenso is couple years older, which would you go for?

    I'd buy on condition rather than age. I love Campagnolo and I previously owned the Ultratorque Athena but the new Powertorque chainset is an absolute POS, or at least it is if you want to replace the BB bearings. I had a test ride on the GTR when it came out and it was a pleasant enough ride without being outstanding at anything. Can't offer an opinion on the Bianchi but it got good reviews at the time.

    GTR Endurance Di2 is heavily reduced on CRC if you're a M. 10% off for BC too.

    The Intenso is the same dimensions as the Infinito but without the countervail. Even without the cv it is a very comfortable bike. Although make sure this is what you mean and not the Alu Impulso as you mention in the title.
