Bike choosing help
Hi, I'm changing from mountain bike to road bike, I have three possible bikes, Trek 1.2, Specialized Allez Sport or Lapierre Audacio 400, the first two have Shimano Sora, and the Lapierre comes with Shimano Tiagra, I know Tiegra is better than Sora, but wich one do you think is a better choice?
I really appreciate your help!

I'm not sure about the Specialized or the Lapierre, but I rode a Trek 1.2 at my LBS recently and loved it. I ended up buying the 1.1, which is a step down, of course, but I still love it. I'm guessing you can't go wrong with any of them, so find the one that speaks to you ...

If I was asking this question it would go like this.....I have X dollars to spend. What are some good bikes? With all the resources available here you might find some excellent deals.

There are also plenty of other bikes in that price range that you may want to check out. Giant and Felt are two that stand out and you could probably pick up one of those with better specs for less money.
Whatever bike you do buy make sure that you get a good fit from the shop. I too came over from mtb and I find that the fitting is far more important for the road bikes.
Good luck with your decision.
