Advice on frames and wheels
I have been riding for a long time and have just sold my Klein Quantum TT and plan to buy a road bike for long recreational rides and the odd charity run.
I am looking at three frames and need advice from the experts
Orbea Orca
Merckx SXM
Colnago CLX
I love the look of the Merckx but notice that it only offers a 2 year warranty, not sure about the warranties on the other 2.
Once I decide will probaly have Chorus parts added and would appreciate thoughts on wheels. I want to come in with a complete bike at under $5000.

Making a kilometer blurry
Pick the one that looks the best and feels the best on a test ride. There are no bad bikes in this price range.
