Ok, so I am completely torn between a Tirreno Razza 2.0 and a Trek Pilot 1. Both bikes are $750 (plus taxes). The Tirreno has generally better components (for example: 105 drive train versus Tiagra) and the Tirreno comes with pedals –the Pilot does not.
I prefer the riding position of the Trek; but the Tirreno, although a little low is fine. The Trek rides harsher and there is a lot of clicking of the gears, so that’s a plus for the Tirreno.
I have the Tirreno on hold till tomorrow 8pm so I’ve got to make up my mind soon. Any input would be appreciated.

You know which one to buy...Components can be replaced when they are worn out. Buy the most comfortable bike.

THanks for the reply. I guess you are right. I suppose I could just buy 105 components later in the game. But of course to complicate matters, I've spotted a Fuji Roubaix 2005 for the same price, and I will be test riding it today. If it fits, I'll perhaps get that one. I've asked for reviews on the fuji and hopefully I'll get feedback then.
Its really cool for a total newcomer to bike purchasing (I've ridden before in sprint triathlons and in burgundy) to be able to ask people in the know about relative brands and bikes!
