Hello to all,
I'm on the market for a new bike and I'd like some advice from you.
These are more or less the characteristics I'm looking for:
- all-round frame, with good climbing and descent skills
- effective (non UCI) tires clearance up to 28/30mm measured
- rim brakes, I would really appreciate the direct mount brakes
- relatively comfortable, also oriented to outputs + 150km


For now I'm oriented to these models:
- Bianchi Specialissima, I tried it, it's really remarkable
- Orbea Orca OMR, I don't know nothing about the ride quality
- BMC Teammachine SLR01, tires clearance?

Thank you in advance

    Thank you, unfortunately they are brands that are difficult to find for me.

    I think OP is looking for something a bit more exclusive than Halfords bikes (not that there's anything wrong with them). For the budget of the bikes listed, you could probably buy a VooDoo for every day of the week :)

    I think that Cervelo R5 have a good chance to be my next bike, perfect geometry, good tyre clearance, amazing ride quality.

    just careful of build quality - mf has has one cervelo crack on him (soloist) another(s5) had to be sent back straight out of the box due to QC issues.

    mf is very wary of buying another.
