I am looking at a new bike, for road riding, and am looking for opinions.
I have seen some great reviews on the Trek 5200. Seems to fit me OK, but have another option for about the same price - maybe even a bit cheaper for same (ultegra) groupo, fit seems simiar.
LBS also has Litespeed Arenbergs, end of model year. In the Arenberg, it looks like end of series, as this is not listed in the 2003 catalog.
If both fit me OK, any thoughts on the Arenberg? I know Litespeed has a good rep, but could not find info if what niche the Arenberg fits - similar to the 5200, more racing only, or ???
Thanks.
