    Looking to replace my dead bike. Primarily for racing.

    Given that most 2017 bikes seem to have awful sloping top tubes, which I can't stand, I think I've narrowed it down to these two.

    Looking for any info, or realistic alternatives with a compelling argument (no sloping top tubes, no Cannondale, Orbea, Spesh, Trek, Canyon, Cervelo for various reasons).

    When I'm shelling out this much, I admit I am.

    Can't get more ironing board flat than the BMC. I'd go for that. Much more head-turning kudos than Williers or Ridleys for my money.

    You could lay a fine wall with that BMC
