What do you guys think of the Ventura sport and Satellite sport. The jamis dealer is having close out sales on 2011 models and both fit into my price range being 500 and 700 respectively.
LOL, well pretty much the same compairson, the Ventura is more sporty a bit lighter, with Alum. frame and fork, more sporting road drivetrain components, etc. the Satellite has a "road TRIPLE", crankset and more touring drive train components, is a bit heavier being cromo-steel frame and fork. Since your only doing short runs to the gym and back and are looking at Triatholons in the future, I'd go for the Ventura Sport over the Satellite as you'll probably sell either of these in the future to get a serious Tri-Bike if that becomes your thing! YMMV. have FUN choosing that new bike! ENJOY!
