Hi all,
I am looking to get into roadies again. I am 200lbs 6ft1". I usually ride a specialized SX frame for trails and some FR/DH, and basically i want to get a roadie in order to improve pedalling, stamina, lose weight and quit smoking.
Now for the bike specifics. I am looking for something up to 2K$. Campy Centaur Groupset and Mavic Ksyrium Equipe or Campy Scirroco wheelset.
As for the frames
Bianchi ML3 Allu
Bianchi SL3 Allu Double butted
Bianchi SL3 AlluDB/Carbon stays.
Colnago Classic Steel
I would love to get a Bianchi, i got a bianchi fetish. I was told that allu is uber reliable nowadays for heavy rides and should last me a loooooooong time... They also told me that if combined with a carbon rear stays , that it would last even longer as the CF will absorb bumps that would otherwise tire the frame more...
Anyhow i am looking forward to your opinions for these frames. I dig for the SL3/Carbon bianchi... if it is dog-reliable and strong i ll get it.
Also some input on the 2 wheelsets i mentioned would be more than wellcome.
Yours
Yannis
