Buying a new road bike
I'm in the process of looking for a new road bike. I haven't owned a road bike in over 10 years. I used to do most of my training on the road, but in the past years I have been mostly riding my MTBs and for the last couple of years I have been doing some mixed terrain riding on my CX bike. I want something fun and fast for the road, mostly for 2 to 3 hour rides with the occasional longer ride thrown in. I don't want an endurance geometry since I would like something more responsive and fast. I have a pretty good level of fitness (I'm in my early 50s), not a power rider, but a pretty decent climber.
I'm considering the following bikes: Specialized Tarmac (Ultegra), Scott Addict RC (Dura Ace), and Bianchi Oltre X3. The Scott and Bianchi are priced similarly, while the Tarmac is a few hundred dollars less. Wheelsets are pretty similar, and most likely will ended up being upgraded soon...
Any advice? I would like to hear from people who ride or have ridden any of these bikes.
Thanks in advance.
