I am trying to decide whether to trade my bike. Most all components are the same, except that the crank arms on the Kuota are slightly longer. I own the Kuota KOM, but I am looking at a SL-3 frame that the bike store owner is ready to sell (he has been riding it).
They both do things well - The SL-3 rides smoother, faster on the straights, more stable.
The KOM climbs incredibly well, it's a harsher ride, it too is extremely fast.
The SL-3 is a good looking bike, and it is slightly lighter. The SL-3 also means spending more $, but the deal is pretty good.
I am having a tough time thinking through this. Any thoughts?
