Hi Guys,
I am somewhat new to cycling but enjoy it so much that in the last few months has moved forwad by 2 hours my morning wake up time.
I am in the buying stage for a new road bike. I have mostly done MB until now. So here is my dillema:
- Felt Z85 2010 for $1000 (originally $1100) - dual cranck set - 105 components - weights about 20lbs -- 51 frame
- Scattante women's 300 for about $650 (originally $999) -- tripple cranck set -- sora components -- weight about 22.5 lbs -- 51 frame more info
I understand that the Felt is a better brand, has better components and is slightly lighter. However I am trying to see if the benefits are really worth the additional $350.
I will be using this bike to ride around, train, and do some triathlons.
What do you think? Also if you have aditional bike suggestions I would be happy to hear them as well.
