Bike recommendation?

Looking to replace my vintage alu Trek 1500 road bike (circa ~03).

Budget of around €2K, to transport a 90kg, 6ft carcass around the hills of Wicklow, so shaving grams of weight is not a high priority....

Any recommendations?

Wilier GTR - http://www.salden.nl/nl/fietsen-en-frames/race/racefietsen/wilier-gtr-ltd-dip-opbouwfiets.html
You could get this with full Ultegra and Rs 81 wheels for €1999

Radon bikes - supposedly made by Canyon

11 speed ultegra for 1099e is a good deal:

Given you user name, I would have thought one of these would be in order

I'm also 90+ kgs & bought a Trek Emonda S6 for 2k from my LBS and am very happy with it..

And I thought this might actually narrow the options...:)

Thanks all - plenty of homework to do.
