    Have been riding MTB for a long time (as well as commuter) and am slowly returning to the roads full time.

    Am looking ahead to next spring and partaking in a few more sportives & longer distance charity cycles (1 day affairs only) as well as more sunday morning runs and want to save my pennies for one of the three above.

    Eddy Merckx EMX-3
    Bianchi Infinito
    De Rosa R838

    Can I ask you the more experienced audience for your thoughts / recommends?

    Thank you

    FWIW I like the Bianchi!! All nice tho. & non will be a bad choice, all top frames -If any have better componentry & wheels – that could swing it if you cant choose on looks or ride

    ha, i look at the emx3 & think it’s lovely & u’d belong to a smaller club, then u see the rosa and go, geez thats a thing of beauty & u roll over the bianchi again and it’s damn i love the black white color scheme

    having to choose between
    having to choose between those three? that’s one of them good problems… 😕

    they’re all good quality bikes. i’d suggest making the effort to find somewhere you can ride each of them on a decent road loop, and compare and contrast. Much of the difference would be down to personal preference, i’d say.
