So do I test ride a Alu first then CF or vise versa?
I say, test-ride all of the aluminum bikes first, then test-ride all of your CF prospects. Then finally, ride the Quest.
However, I must warn you at this time. Riding the Quest can become emotionally addictive. Remember, this will only be a test-ride. You must remember to return the bike back to the shop and not extend your trip beyond state lines.
