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

Roubaix, Pilot or ????

I didn't want to hijack the thread already going on the two bikes - but I am looking for a couple other alternatives.

I'm test riding them both today after a fantastic 2 hour fitting from my local Serotta fit professional.
Really wish I could swing the dig for the Nove or Ottrott.. perhaps next time.

It seems that these two frames (roubaix, pilot) fit my riding style and dims very well - but was curious if there were others that I have missed that I should consider.

This is similar to another posting I had a few weeks ago - but now that I know that I need a bit more of an upright geometry, I thought I'd repost and see what shakes out.

Hans (fit dude) looked at all the different bikes I had on my list and narrowed it down to the two (pilot and roubaix) He did mention the Serotta Fierte, but seems I probably couldn't test ride one.

Any other suggestions as I go out looking?

If full carbon is now part of your criteria (wasn't clear on that), then Giant's OCR Comp would be in the category.
