Need help picking my 1st carbon road bike!
I've been riding italian steel bikes all my life but now the curiosity of carbon has gotten the best of me. I think I found a pretty good deal just wanted to get some advice from you guys. Just post here and I'll pm you so we can discuss this further

we love to help you more if you gave us more information.
right now you sounds like you just showed up and want us to spoon feed you something.
how much do you weight? 125? 325?
what's your riding style? longer ride with upright geo? aggressive aero position?
how much you can fork out? 1500 for fuji team? full CF dogma?
your height?

I'm going to GUESS that the OP is afraid if he posts the details someone will snag it out from under him. Just a guess. Either way, I hope it works out well and you enjoy it...if you buy it. Good luck.

If it fits your body and your style of riding, go for it. But don't expect us to play cloak-and-dagger.
