What bike for £2k

[Blowfish]

Hi guys looking for next step up from my specialised allez elite that I have just sold. Got about £2k budget what would you recommend? Am thinking maybe a 2012 wilier izoard Xperia ultegra unless someone suggest better!?

Massive choice at this price point Blowfish. Can you narrow it down a bit in terms of the type of riding that you like to do?

I like the look of the Storck Scenero that won bike of the year at this price point in Cycling Plus magazine, but not ridden one. Here's a link to the review.

Great (award winning http://www.bikeradar.com/road/news/article/-focus-izalco-pro-30-why-its-our-bike-of-the-year-33391/) bike for 2k Focus Izalco Pro 3.0

I've got to suggest it, why not buy the worlds best alu frame and get a CAAD10.

Bike will be used for road riding with friends and the odd sportive.

Do you mind me asking why you sold the Allez? Reason I ask is I am looking at the Allez Elite.

My brother offered me good money for it and fancy a full carbon. Allez elite was a great starter bike, kind of regretting selling it now!

If you liked the Allez - go for a Tarmac.
