My name is sergio, i live in Spain, excused me for my bad english. Well, this week i go to buy a road bike and i have chosen 4 bikes:

MERIDA ROAD 904 --> 940 EUROS (WITH SHIMANO 105)

http://www.merida.nl/bike.php?id=136&groep=race&subgroep=sport

BH L35 --> 850 EUROS (WITH SHIMANO 105)

http://www.bhbikes.com/es/bici-ver.asp?idBicicleta=2916

PINARELLO ANGLIRU --> 1100 EUROS (WITH CAMPAGNOLO MIRAGE)

http://www.pinarello.com/eng/angliru_blue_scheda.php

TREK 1200 --> 900 EUROS (WITH SHIMANO TIAGRA/105)

http://www2.trekbikes.com/bikes/bike.php?bikeid=1424000&f=4


I like to know that frame is the better and the most light, because i want when it will spend any time, i want to change de group and i put a group better (for a example campagnolo centaur).

Too i like to know the weights from the frames of the bikes, and the weights of the bikes completes.

Too i like that you say other bikes in this price, i want to buy a bike for less of 1000 euros.

i hope that you have understanding at me, because i know to write very very bad the english language.

well thank you very very much.

Not many people know about Merida over here in the States, but I have one and it has satisfied me. It weighs about 19 pounds for what I remember (8.64 kg).

Your english isn't bad.

Of those you listed I like the Pinarello the best. It has a certain je ne se quois that I find appealing. It has the added bonus of not being compact (not that I'm anti-compact but I prefer a standard frame)...

Did you not like the Orbea? Your English is way better than my Spanish.

don't apologize for your english - you're doing great.

if you decide to get the trek and you need a 56cm, i can deliver a slightly used 1200 in perfect condition to spain for ~425 euro!

Well, of the few you have chosen.....

I would personally go for the Pinny with a Mirage group.
(Unless, you want Centaur with the carbon CT crank) ;)

Blue, of course.

I like Blue. :D
