sorry to ask this, but i've been struggling with this decision for over a week. i'm currently riding a steel marin w/ campy veloce but i'm in the market for a lighter, stiffer bike. i've narrowed it to a 2002 litespeed hyperion (aluminum frame w/ carbon fork, carbon seatstays, full ultegra, and sweet spinergy wheels) with shimano spd-r pedals and a pair of sidi shoes for about $1800 and a 2003 allez comp aluminum frame with a carbon seatpost & carbon frame with full ultegra and the shimano wheelset (no pedals included) for about $1400.
both seem similar in ride quality and i think the litespeed is a bit stiffer, but need some advice. unfortunately they're both at different shops and each shop is talking down about the other brand. anyone have any opinoins? thanks in advance.
