Hi all,



New here and hope this is the right place to post this.



I’m looking to buy my first serious road bike, I’ve put on few pounds since covid started and it’s time to get of the sofa and back out on the bike.



Last bike (a giant defy) was stolen so I’m looking for a new replacement and I’ve always dreamed of owning an Italian bike.



Originally I was looking at the Bianchi Via nirone 7 105(€1300), but it’s out of stock until summer 21. The next endurance bike in their line up the Infinito Xe(€2850) is way outside my budget of €1800



Bike shop has Bianchi Sprint 105 Rim brake in stock in my size (€2100) and a Wilier Gtr Team 105 Rim Brake.(€1750)



Both race bikes, I’ve only ever owned endurance bikes so I’m wondering will a race bike be to aggressive for me in the long term. I don’t plan on very long rides but I do live in a mountainous area.



Other options I was looking at was Orbea Orca tiagra Disc(€1950), but my heart longs for Bianchi Celeste.



Any advice? Save up extra? Wait for Nirone 7? Try Race geometry?



Thanks
