Which Bike

[Hutch 75]

Okay, fancy a bit of italian exotica for the coming warmer weather.
I'm stuck between the Wilier Izoard XP Centaur or a Bianchi Infinito Athena, from Epic with some uprated mavic ksyrium elites, both roughly the same price. And then again there's the Orbea's, Spanish I know but still gorgeous, I could go on......
My main criteria is sportive/comfort so which do you think is the best fit for this.

Thanks

Andy

Difficult for anyone to answer this definitively. I can only suggest test riding them.

Thought that would be the case but just wondered if anyone else had these bikes and what their thoughts were.

I can get a test on the Bianchi but can't find anywhere for the Wilier.

Cheers

On Your Bike at London Bridge sell Wilier, tried them?

 

[Hutch 75]

No, I'll give them a go, i'm in London tomorrow so I'll give them a call, thanks Vickster.

They had a similar sounding 2010 model in the sale, sold though

That's a shame, don't think there's much difference between the 10 and 11, would've liked to have known the price.

No Idea but my Bianchi is the C2C series and its geometry is a bit more relaxed for sportive riding (the main element I believe is it has a longer head tube)

Best of luck they all sound nice :-)
