    Pinarello FP3

    Hi Guys

    Recently decided that i am going to update my bike and looking at a Scott CR1 Ultegra/105 and a Pinarello FP3 Ultegra and wanted to get the opinions of you guys, rode both and found both fantastic just wondered if people particularly loved one or the other?

    I will be using it for races, sportives and summer rides

    I tried the Scott CR1 Ultegra last year, not really what I wanted. I decide to get a Cube Agree GTC Pro instead.

    Out of your choices I'd go for the FP3 with 105 or Ultegra.

    didn't think about the Cube Agree may have to try that one out. Not really a Spez or Trek fan. anyone else got opinions on these three (now)

    Have a look at the new for 2013 Giant Defy Composite, very nice and the stock wheeels are very good
    Must be mad not got enough money to be excentric, the older I get the better I was

    List is almost endless but Felt F4 Ultegra worth a look too... Particularly since the 2012 model is currently on offer at £600 below RRP at Wiggle http://www.wiggle.co.uk/felt-f4-ultegra-2012/

    I didn't get on with the giant for some strange reason, but the Felt might be worth a look

    Just rode a Felt F4 my friend just bought, loved it just as much as the 'Pin', gone off the Scott as i rode that back to back with the felt and found it too harsh on my glutius maxius! So Felt, Pinerallo and Cube (need to test ride this now).

    Three very nice bikes; and so nice to be in a position of choice. I like the Pinarello; although I think your paying for the name (wee bit over priced) for what you get. The Felt I really liked; and was going to buy one; and then I tried the Cube Agree GTC Pro, it suited me much more than the other bikes I tried, it also seemed to be tighter on the corners and a lot more comfortable to ride. I've been pleased with the Cube ever since.

    Hope you find the right one for you. Enjoy the looking and testing.

    UPDATE: Narrowed it down to the Felt F4 and the FP3 now. Rode both and love them both, big choice to make in the next few days.
