What one? Idol or Cento
Hello people of two wheels,
I would be really grateful if you could please give me your opinion. Which bike?
I really want to do the Haute Route in the next year or so, therefore I am looking for something comfortable, good for climbing a col, but just at home running around Sussex, and more importantly you can spend all day on the bike. I am mid 30's and do anything up to 200-300k per week, I am quite inflexible which I am working on. Anyway...
Wilier Cento1SR or De Rosa Idol.
Both have caliper brakes and ultegra 11pd. I think both are about the same in weight

So in my position, what would you do?
Thanks in advance as this has been going on for two/three weeks now.
Alex
