    im looking at getting a new road bike with the aim to take up racing in the future

    i had my eye on a cube agree but iv heard some bad things about it and got put off, so iv had a look at a few brands. trek,giant,specialized,bianchi,wilier and felt.

    my price range is in and around 1500
    and want the best value for money

    wilier's lzoard looks to be the best choice from what i can see

    has anyone had a lzoard before ? how well do hey hold up any problems with them?

    any other suggestions as to bikes to look at in and around the price range

    I just bought myself a Trek 2.1 today. price was 1350 but i got for 1100, got a bit of a deal for myself :D
    Excellent bike, very light and perfectly fine for racing in the future.

    looks good was having a look at it the other day, and i know they use the highest grade carbon fiber for there frames witch is a good selling point but i am just not that sold on it. and the lzoard is only 150 euro more and its a nice monocoque carbon frame.

    looks the biz alright but the general consensus seems to be NOT to buy a bike based on the frame alone but rather the ride it offers you..If i was you, i'd head to your local shop and see if you can get a test on each bike previously mentioned and take it from there..
    its not much help but i wouldnt want to steer you either way incase you end up regretting it - after all when you spending that much money on something you want to make sure its right for you
