I am planning on building up a new bike for my commute (50 hilly kms round trip - fast and unloaded)
Out of the frames I could find on sale I have narrowed the choice down to two:
Wilier Evasion (2001 model – Easton Elite tubing) at $557
Specialized Allez Elite Cro-Mo (2003 model – Columbus Foco tubing) at $581
I normally ride Cinelli Aliante Altec2 frame which I love and don’t want to trash on my commute. I wonder if the Easton Elite will be very harsh. I know that Foco is very high-end steel while Elite is middle range alu.
Any ideas or opinions?
