Isn’t $1300 a little high for an entry level bike?
Again I plan to put 30 miles a day on it, and HOPEFULLY get serious about road biking esp in winter.
30 miles a day - 210 miles a week = a lot more than most people on this forum. If you are REALLY going to do that I'd say go for at least 105/Veloce. The others will fall to pieces pretty quick under that mileage.
