Hi it's interesting to have this thread revived. I kept watching prices of the sempre Pro and then in meantime I found a cervelo r2 that was about 400 quid cheaper than the cheapest Bianchi I could find. I was also very interested in a canyon. It was difficult not knowing anyone that rides a canyon and you can't look at them in shops etc, I kept mulling it all over and but couldn't say no to the price of the cervelo when it came along. So far I'm very pleased with the R2 but I'm sure I would have been chuffed with the bianchi or the Canyon. I think any of these bikes would have made me smile so much riding them. Happy Xmas
