Pl. give me your opinion on these Carbon Frame Bikes..
I ride Trek Aluminum Frame / partly carbon Road Bike, for past 7-8 years. I am planning to buy a Full Carbon Bike. I am looking at three bikes as follows:-
Bianchi 105 Infinito ($2700)
https://www.bianchiusa.com/bikes/road.../infinito-105/
Trek Madone 4.7 ($3100)
https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes...s/madone_4_7/#
Trek Madone 4.5 ($2100)
https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes...s/madone_4_5/#
Most economic for me would be Trek Madone 4.5 ($2100)
but it is heavier than above two bikes. moreover I hate this black color.
Trek 4.7 is way too expensive for me .. but that depends what I am getting, I pay for that..! Bianchi I never used, so please suggest me your opinion.

Being a Raleigh guy, I really like the 2012 offerings from them...
Last year I purchased a used 2006 team frame and later on put the life time warranty to the test and they came through with my current 2010 team SL frame as a replacement. Great to see them stand behind there bikes even when I wasn't the original owner.

Infinito 100%, it has a cleaner look. Too many treks around in the world, not enough Italian bikes.

I have the Bianchi Infinito 105 and love it. It's a great bike as are the others I'm sure. I got mine in Celeste because a great bike store was willing to order the Celeste/Ultegra model and switch components to 105 and sell to me at the 105 price. I don't know that other bike stores are willing to do that, but it does look best is Celeste.

[SUP][/SUP]Hey OP, why not get this one for just a little bit more. You get full Force gruppo. You might be able to negotiate a slight discount too.
