Looking 4 a carbon road bike under $2000. QUALITY, SPEED, CLIMBING EASE, WEIGHT, are attributes I find important. Can you tell me which of these models would be best and why. 1. Immortal Ice 2. LE CHAMP CF PRO 3. KESTREL CHAMP TALON 4. LE CHAMP CF LTD. Any other model you think I should consider? Thanks, Byron Block

Hi - these are great questions. These bikes weight about the same. The Kestrel might be slightly heavier than the rest but not enough to tell when riding. The CF Pro is mostly sold out so unless your size is available would cross off the list. Buy the Immortal Ice if you want a great performing bike and a bit more cushioning to the ride and don't need the more upright position of the Le Champ CF series. Get the Le Champ CF LTD if you want a more upright riding position and like a good blend of aero and comfort. Get the Talon if you are mostly concerned with speed as it is the most aero but it's a bit stiffer than any of the others due to the aero tube profiles. Whichever you choose, don't wait too long as our main complaint from customers is that we run out of bikes:)
Happy Cycling:)
