I tried a 2001 Bianchi veloce both 53 and 55cm and totally had a blast!!!!!! They were soooooo much fun. The bike shop I went to really spent the time to fit me to the correct bike, spent over an hour and concluded that for that particular geometry, the 53cm was best for me if I were to race. They said that the slightly smaller frame would give me better responsiveness....Really the only difference I noticed was that the top tube was slightly shorter. Well I'm sold...only as mentioned before....the veloce runs a little over my cap of $1,000, @$1,445.
My task now is searching for the great deal to be had. If anyone knows any sights that'll beat that...let me know.
Thanks for your input!!!
