Dear Editor, congratulations on the manifold and disinterested advice provided. I recently fond of cycling and practiced up to now I'm using a mountain bike. In fact my paths are always on dirt roads and I love the mountains. For this reason I'm looking for a new road bike with which can make up to 150 miles and trails like the Sella Ronda.

My budget is around € 2,000 and at this price are undecided between 3 bikes. The Canyon Ultimate CF 7.0 that, at least as stated by the home, is very lightweight (7.25 kg); as an alternative I was thinking in the Bianchi Sempre 105 Compact or one that produces a company that shares my name is Daccordi. The name of the bike is Carbon. Because of my inexperience and uncertainty, I ask you help in making this choice, taking into account that the use principlae will be on mountain roads.

Dear Reader, thanks for the compliments. Alright I know well Daccordi, that makes good bikes, good value for money, though without any particular technical performance, so the choice is preferable to reduce about Bianchi or Canyon, two completely different bikes. Canyon offers what you are searching for, a light, stiff, responsive and well-assembled bike, but even with a modest amenities and finishes some improvement. The real flaws Canyon, already stated, are the absence of a network of sales and salable in the market. Bianchi is completely different, heavier than about 1kg, has a frame much more refined, more rigid and reactive than Canyon, and with more comfort on long distances, its overall performance are "suffocated" by the non-top group set and weight, while the frame is more than good; perfect painting, research graphics and attention to detail. The driving skill see a Canyon faster cornering, but also less stable at speed and more difficult to control on bumpy. Excellent, as always Bianchi, the network of support and assessment on the market. Analyzing these matters you should make your choice, if you look only at the pure speed performance then Canyon is an obvious choice, but as I said the Bianchi Sempre has many positive features. To you the final choice.
