Hey Everyone !
How's it going ? I've never used a road bike before and am planning to get one. I've tried out the following 4 bikes and was wondering which one of these to get:
(1) 2011 Trek 2.1 CH2 ($1100). Specs:
here
(2) Giant Defy 1 ($1300). Specs:
here
(3) 2010 Specialized Sectuer ($1300). Specs:
here
(4) 2011 Scattante R-670 ($1200). Specs:
here
- When I started, my budget was around $1000.
- For the first three, the respective shops agreed to work towards trying to fit it in my budget. So I'm guessing, I should be able to fetch an additional discount of about 10%.
- The Giant Defy 1, for some reason, felt great. I loved it. But the Trek 2.1 is what fits my budget. Can I ask if they can give the Giant Defy for $1000 or $1100, or am I asking for too much of a discount ?
- All are shimano 105, except the Scattante which is Ultegra. But I wasn't the most comfortable in it. Dunno why.
Suggestions ?
Thanks in advance! I am so excited..!
