Hi there!
I've owned a Giant OCR3 road bike for the last three years and this is the season I'm going to upgrade. I'm looking to spend $1200-2000 on a bike that hopefully has ultegra and/or 105 components, race wheelsets that are both light and more importantly durable. I'm not sure whether or not I want carbon or aluminum. Right now I'm most interested in the Trek 2200 and the Giant Composite 2. Any information (good/bad) on these bikes? Also, my local dealers only carry specialized, giant, and trek so I really don't know what else is out there. Any suggestions for bikes in the above mentioned prices would be much appreciated! Thanks much.
