i am serching around for a road bike, and a few ideas have come up so far.
As of right now, the ones i have seen that i like/in the price range are:
Cervelo soloist
Pinerelo F3:13
Felt F3 or 4
kouta kebel
anything else i should be looking at? i would be doing a decent amount of my training on this and racing it. price range is around 2500 give or take.
thoughts?
Soloist Team is probably the best bike for the money, but I would choose the pinarello, just for style and to be a little different.
as of right now, the cervelo and in the pinerelo are the top two. the like what i get with the felt but think its but ugly.
the kouta at this point is just another option but not high up there.
cervelo is a little more bike for the money, the pinerelo is much better looking. i think its going to come down to what i can find price wise and what is available localy

You won’t be allowed to buy a **Pinarello **until you learn to spell Pinarello.

sold a computer and a few other things.
take a good look at the kestrel talon, or the rt-700. I have a talon kitted in campy record for road and I am completely satisfied.
Didn’t you ask the Forum last week what should you buy, a powermeter or a road bike? What was the result of that?
This seems a no-brainer to me. Dude, lets face it, you’re gonna go down eventually, and likely harder & more often than you’re willing to accept right now. If you are budget limited, do you really wanna wreck a beautiful carbon Pinarello? Get a workhorse frame, a workhorse gruppo, a solid training wheelset and a decent pair of lightweight alloy race wheels, then upgrade as your talent & budget permits…Soloist Team w/Ultegra more than fits the bill.
Disclaimer: I don’t road race so I have no credibility on the subject, but if i did this is the path I’d choose.
I saw a picture of this in Road Bike Action Magazine. Quite possibly the coolest looking thing I’ve seen and I’m not one to drool over the latest and greatest (as a quick glance at my stable of antiques attests).
I present, the Titus Vuelo Exogrid - http://www.titusti.com/vuelo.html
You also may want to look at the new Tarmac and Madone. Of that list, the top 3 I would suggest is the Soloist, Tarmac, or Madone for 08.
yes, and i would still like to pick up a power meter. but i would also like to do cycling races, and at this point that comes before the power meter. also can get the bike at a large discount.
I test rode these and they are awesome bikes :
BMC Pro Machine, Wilier Cento (equipped with Campy Record). Wilier is one of the best looking bikes I have seen to this date and and incredibly fantastic ride.
pitty I can’t afford any of them.
The '07 Madone 5.2s are on Trek factory incentive sale now, with a mix of Ultegra and DA, for less than the price range you’re quoting.
