Attempting to avoid Buyers Remorse

This is my first choice. Having said that, I feel they might all give me the ride I'm looking for.
Kuota Kebel
Cannondale
Tirreno
If you check out the bikes listed, also check the level above and below the one shown.
I am going to do a fitting this week, I hope to purchase a bike this week as well. Monday will be my 36th birthday!!! I will be celebrating on Sunday. So I decided that I would make my first outdoor ride on Monday the day of my birth, symbolizing the rebirth of my life commitment. Lance is suppose to join me.

Go big or go home. What is a few thousand dollars if you have a smile with bugs in your teeth at the end of the day. Good luck on the quest for the perfect machine. Once you find it, you'll know.

Happy Birthday! All of those bikes are fantastic, and I like the idea of Italian bikes - I fell into riding a DeRosa and feel quite snobbish about it. I wonder if you have unexpected trouble with the Kuota frame... will you end up shut down trying to get a replacement? But Trek could have you back up in a manner of days.

I think the bigger decision comes with components, etc. and I can't help in that department.

VeloNews talks about a buyer's guide, but I couldn't find it online (here is a sample article though)-
