Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Trek 1400 v's Campagnolo Veloce

Ok so I'm torn between Trek 1400 and the Campag as a new bike:

So you probably all know the vitals on the trek (which is $1200 here in UK) but here are some of the Campag stats ($1100):

- Aluminum Carbon frame 9.8kg
- Camapag Xenon Aluminum Crankset
- Tektro V Brakes
- Camapg Veloce Controls
- 20 speed
- PDO Click Pedals

So which would you go for/which is the best deal? I am really torn but I am not really familiar with Campag bikes...any advice appreciated.

Like Duke of Kent mentioned, Campy doesn't make bikes, just the worlds best components.

Yep it says Cicli Esperia on it, they seem legit, and have a website (though in Italian) anyone heard of the brand.
I might as well just go for the trek 1400!
