    Looking to replace my dead bike. Primarily for racing.

    Given that most 2017 bikes seem to have awful sloping top tubes, which I can't stand, I think I've narrowed it down to these two.

    Looking for any info, or realistic alternatives with a compelling argument (no sloping top tubes, no Cannondale, Orbea, Spesh, Trek, Canyon, Cervelo for various reasons).

    I've a lot of love for Wilier bikes. That's no help to you, but I'd be going for that one

    All based on nothing but aesthetics, except one.

    Can't get more ironing board flat than the BMC. I'd go for that. Much more head-turning kudos than Williers or Ridleys for my money.

    You could lay a fine wall with that BMC
