    new road bike.

    hi all,
    i'd love to pick all of your experienced cycling brains about some options for a new bike build for myself.

    last weekend, while returning from a great trip to quebec (leaving the children at the grandparents for the weekend), we were rear ended on the freeway. everyone in both cars were perfectly fine, most importantly my two little girls who were sitting in the back seat (see photo) what did not do so well were the three bikes on our rear rack.

    My beloved felt FW1 (a 2008 model built up in 2009 with sram force and zipp 303's that were only a few months old) was completely destroyed. We are currently working through an insurance settlement and should be able to replace all three bikes. Now, I search for the new perfect bike to replace beloved felt.

    I am thinking of:
    1) the new cervelo S5,
    2) the Storck Fenomalist, and
    3) the Guru Photon.

    I would like to stick with full carbon fiber and build it up with campy chorus. The problem is that the cervelo s5 is not available in my size until late october, the guru is a custom build so there is no way to test ride one, and the storck is available at a LBS at try out (planning on that for tomorrow) but I don't know anyone who has ever ridden a Storck (not very popular here in Canada). So, i am mostly relying on reviews and reviews are rarely written by 120lbs women...

    Does anybody have any experience with any of these bikes? I am planning on doing some road racing and love long rides, climbs, and descents so would like something fast, that handles well and that is light.

    Ideas?

    thank you all so much,
    julie
