Hi there,

I'm looking to buy my first road bike and have narrowed my decision down to the trek 1.2, giant scr 2 or the specialized allez. I would be grateful to anybody who can highlight the differences between the bikes.

Initially I was drawn towards the 1.2 as it was touted as having a not too focused geometry, but when I compare the 2200/sora setup of the 1.2 with the sora/tiagra of the scr2 and the allez the 1.2 becomes less appealing.

thanks in advance.

Even a link to some online, reputable, reviews would be helpful..... i've been having trouble finding them.
