Gear Talk / 2013 summer tour bike

« on: February 22, 2013, 08:53:00 am »

Hi,

I'm going on a (road) tour of spain in the summer, and I'm thinking about getting a new bike. Been looking around at a few 2013 models and the 4 below are what I've come up with as possible options. I know the allez elite is the most expensive bike, but does this necessarily make it the best? I've heard good things about the trek 1.2 so I'm looking for some more opinions.

Let me know if you've bought/tested any of the above and your thoughts on specialized v trek for a mid level road bike.

Interested to hear your thoughts.

Thanks,
