..had it been the DeRose King X Lite ' date=' i would've differed.. but its the entry level DeRosa carbon .. [/quote']

 

Garzelli used the Idol to win 2 stages in the 07 Giro D'Italia. It has some racing cred. The Idol may not be De Rosa's top of the range, but neither is it entry level. Same as Cervelo's R3.

Garzelli road a one-off lighter Idol with special geometry called the Idol UD (Unidirectional) which is still in the prototype stage at the moment. Pez has some good things to say about the standard Idol though.

The latest Giant TCR Advanced is stiffer than the 2006 ISP model. The Specialized Tarmac SL should be going at a discount in the near future as stock of the Tarmac SL2 will be arriving soon (a better machine by all accounts). The Pinarello 4:13 is nice but weighs 200-300 grams more than the Giant for similar money. The ultimate Pinerallo would have to be the Prince carbon, rave reviews even compared to the Paris carbon.
