Ride2work nearly sorted, just the bike to choose from Evans. I have £800 for the bike and narrowed it down to 2 choices. It's either the Spesh Allez Elite or Bianchi Via Nirone 7 Tiagra. I have tried both and like both. My head says the Spesh is more practical but my heart likes the look of the Bianchi. I will be using mostly for commuting so would compliment either with Crud road racer mudguards and a carradice SQR slim saddle bag.
Any idea which has the best stock wheelset and finishing kit and gives the best platform for upgrading?
