Hi, having using a mountain bike for a long time, I would like to switch to a road bike.
At first, I was looking for an alu bike, but after reading a bit, it seems I will probably regret it.
So Im looking for a carbon bike with at least 105 parts. Is that a good choice for a first road bike ?
Is there any brand I should avoid ?
I was looking at Specialized bikes in particular. My mountain bike is a Specialized and I never had a problem with it in 10 years.
I like the look of the Cannondale bikes too.
I was under the impression that in this product range, you cant really go wrong.
Thank you.
P.s. Sorry for the bad phrase structure. English isnt my native language.
My first road bike was a aluminium specialized secteur and I regretted getting the 2300 shimano's. They broke everytime and were just terrible. One thing I noticed is specialized and trek put low end specs on their bikes and overcharge for brand name. I now have a cannondale and felt bike which I love.
Can't go wrong with those brands but most importantly make sure the bike feels right and comfortble
