Hey guys,

I've searched the forums and found some useful info, but would like to get recent opinions on the following:

1. How is the Bianchi Via Nirone 7 105 as a starter bike?

2. Am I better off with a Cannondale CAAD10 105? (the Bianchi just looks better to me)

3. I haven't been fitted for any of these bikes so I know I'd have to go and do that (flame suit on!), but in general, do you think the Bianchi in a size 57 would be about right for me? (I am 5'10.5")

Thanks for the input!
